According to the website of the UAE Foreign Ministry, the Afghan leader with his family was accepted into the country “for humanitarian reasons.”
“The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation can confirm that the UAE has accepted President Ashraf Ghani and his family on a humanitarian basis,” the brief said.
Ghani fled the country when the Taliban entered the capital, Kabul. The former Afghan president left the country on Sunday, but it is not yet clear where he went.
When the Taliban took control of Kabul, rumors spread that the Afghan leader may have gone to neighboring Uzbekistan or Tajikistan. Rumors circulated that he might have escaped to Oman.
Only unconfirmed data emerged on Wednesday that he was seen in Abu Dhabi.
Ghani announced on Sunday that he had withdrawn from his country to “avoid bloodshed” when Taliban fighters entered the capital.
Ghani Ashrafas
Ghani said he hopes that “countless patriots will be tortured and the city of Kabul destroyed” if he stays.
“The Taliban have won … and are now responsible for the honor, wealth and survival of their compatriots,” the fugitive leader said in a statement on Facebook.
“It just came to our attention then. Either they will keep the name and honor of Afghanistan, or they will prioritize other venues and networks,” Ghani added.
He did not reveal where he was, but the main Afghan media group Tolo News announced that the president had left for Tajikistan.
Abdullah Abdullah, who led the Kabul government’s talks with the Taliban, had previously accused Ghani of “leaving people to their fate.”
The keyword #InterpolArrestGhani has become popular on Afghan social media: Hundreds of Afghans are calling on the international criminal police organization Interpol to arrest President Ghani.
He is widely criticized in social media posts. Some users call him a “fugitive”, others call for the president to be prosecuted.
The Taliban seized control of the country on Sunday when President Ghani fled and the rebels entered Kabul without any resistance.
This moment marked the Taliban’s last military victory over the government, won in just 10 days and the shedding of relatively little blood after two decades of war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
Islamist insurgents have taken control of Afghanistan and the United States has ended the withdrawal of its last forces, as planned by President Biden, to end America’s longest war before August 31.
The US leader acknowledged that the Taliban’s progress was advancing faster than expected, but defended his decision to withdraw troops and criticized the Ghani government. US forces were dispatched to Afghanistan in the fall of 2001 following the devastating attacks on the Al Qaeda terrorist network on September 11 of that year in New York and Washington.
The United States did this in response to the Taliban’s al Qaeda haven, and the Taliban were toppled. This time, the Taliban sought to create an atmosphere of restraint and restraint.
