Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani left the country in order to avoid clashes with the Taliban that would endanger millions of Kabul residents, he said in a Facebook post – his first comments since leaving the country.
“Taliban have won the judgment of sword and guns and now they are responsible for protecting the countrymen’s honor, wealth, and self-esteem,” he said. They have not won hearts, he added.
“Never in history has dry power given legitimacy to anyone and won’t give it to them. Taliban now must prove to all the people, ethnicities, different sectors, sisters and women of Afghanistan to win the legitimacy and the hearts of the people.
Ghani added that he will continue to serve his nation.
He did not disclose details on his current location.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Dear countrymen! Today, I came across a hard choice; I should stand to face the armed Taliban who wanted to enter the palace or leave the dear country that I dedicated my life to protecting and protecting the past twenty years. If there were still countless countrymen martyred and they would face the destruction and destruction of Kabul city, the result would have been a big human disaster in this six million city. The Taliban have made it to remove me, they are here to attack all Kabul and the people of Kabul. In order to avoid the bleeding flood, I thought it was best to get out. Taliban have won the judgment of swords and guns and now they are responsible for protecting the countrymen’s honor, wealth, and self-esteem. Didn’t they win the legitimacy of hearts? Never in history has dry power given legitimacy to anyone and won’t give it to them. They are now facing a new historical test; either they will protect the name and honor of Afghanistan or they will prioritize other places and networks. Many people and many Aqshar are in fear and are unreliable in the future. It is necessary for the Taliban to assure all the people, nations, different sectors, sisters, and women of Afghanistan to win the legitimacy and the hearts of the people. Make a clear plan to do and share it with the public. I will always continue to serve my nation with an intellectual moment and a plan to develop. Lots more talk for the future long live Afghanistan.
Ghani, along with his close aides, flew out of Afghanistan earlier in the day, paving way for the Taliban to regain power 20 years after a US-led military invasion ousted them.
Shortly after his departure, Taliban commanders took control of the presidential palace in Kabul, saying they expected a total handover of power.
