Ashraf Ghani vows to come back, says fled Afghanistan abruptly to avoid being hanged
In a major turn of events in a warzone country, former Afghani President Ashraf Ghani, on Wednesday, addressed Afghanistan and the world for the first time after leaving the war-torn country amid Taliban takeover on Sunday.
In a video message, he revealed that he was welcomed by the United Arab Emirates on humanitarian grounds. He said that he fled to avoid being publicly executed and hanged like former President Mohammad Najibullah, whose dead body was hanged on a street light by Taliban leaders in 1996.
I left the country to avoid bloodshed. I went against my will; was forcefully told to evacuate. UAE has let me and my family stay on humanitarian grounds, said Ghani in his video, which he posted on his Facebook account.
He further stated that he supported the talks between Talibani leaders and top government officials. Also, he promised to come back and said ?talks were underway.
All charges and accusations are baseless. I did not take anything from Afghanistan; could not even take my boots, left on slippers. You can verify it with the UAE customs, said Ghani and denied the claims that he fled country with four cars and one chopper filled with cash.
A couple of days ago, Vice President Amrullah Saleh declared himself as the caretaker President citing a constitutional provision. He united anti-Taliban forces in resistance to a regime, which forcefully took over Afghanistan.
Justifying his claim as the caretaker President, Saleh took to Twitter and wrote, Nations must respect the rule of law, not violence. Afghanistan is too big for Pakistan to swallow and too big for Talibs to govern. Don’t let your histories have a chapter on humiliation and bowing to terror groups.
