President Ashraf Ghani leaves Afghanistan
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has left Afghanistan for Tajikistan as the Taliban closes in on Kabul, according to several media reports.
Ghani’s departure comes amid negotiations for a peaceful transfer of power after Taliban fighters encircled Kabul.
The president’s office told the Reuters news agency it “cannot say anything about Ghani’s movement for security reasons”.
Meanwhile, a Taliban official told Reuters they were checking reports about Ghani’s departure from the country.
On Sunday, Taliban troops surrounded Afghanistan’s seat of power but promised not to attack. The group said it has instructed its fighters to refrain from violence and offer safe passage to anyone wishing to leave Kabul.

This was so easy for the Taliban. Didn’t even break a sweat.
@xyzy zyxz “Because 99% of the afghani people favor Taliban directly, or covertly”
Straight up BS when we see millions of Afghans fleeing the Taliban.
Why make up stupid things?
Regular people don’t have guns. And the warlords are not seeing what is best for regular people, but to them personally.
Thus, the Taliban road is cleared.
@Vinayak s It was the poppet regime the US installed that was oppressive.
@Binaryswinery They didn’t want to die for the corrupt puppet regime the US government installed.
All of the top officials became millionares from embezzlement, bribes, kickbacks, and collecting paychecks from fake soldiers. The money came from all the “foreign aid” we gave to the Kabul government over the years. Can you blame Afghan soldiers for not wanting to die for such evil people?
@William M. Afghan man have been fighting before you where Born they call them self Taliban 👍
@Bjumpork 0 The Afghan government was 100% puppet. It was a classic example of a puppet regime, propped up with petro dollars.
President Ashraf Ghani: “Won’t worry guys, I have a plan.”
*leaves*
@M Crump You wanna play that game? Who was president when we invaded them based on a stupid theory that had no merit? Who was president when the Muslim ban happened, but Saudi Arabia wasn’t included in it? All you republican trash think about is money. At any cost to human life. Had we sanctioned Saudis and Pakistan in the first place, none of this would have happened. Not by the U.S.
@Hello Apple Everyone look at the troll. Hello Apple. He think he funny. He think he smart. He want…um…He…um…
so he did have a plan
💀
@Fatema Sherzad 20 years of support from the USA, we withdraw and this happens, he should have fight even if it cost his life.
Like a captain abandoning ship when everybody’s still trying to get off themselves.
What a coward
@Inong Balee 15 slaves
And counting.
@Inong Balee it is one big 💣.
I whould psh the button.
I would psh the button
@this is your daddy speaking instead having big mouth in internet, why don’t you just armed yourself and go to frontlines? I dare you, it easy for having Rambo talk form behind cozy couch 😁😁😁 …fair enough? ..armed yourself and help ghany lol
Joe Biden, July 8: ‘ The Taliban is not the south — the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.
The Taliban Overrunning Everything and Owning the Whole Country Is Highly Unlikely.’
Even Steiner can salvage this situation with his buffed counterattack.
My President Ghani……Steiner couldn’t get enough tropps for a attack…..
They need Fegelein, Fegelein, Fegelein !!!!
@It`s time for Fallout
*Ghani removes his glasses with shaking anger*
Berlin 1945…
@Zeta Reticuli YESSSSSSS
That’s the ultimate failure. Basially the president said, “I’m out from this mess my folks but dont worry I have told some people to take care of you all.. Be safe for now”
Don’t be stupid, what he did was for his people, if he wouldn’t resign for the taliban, then the taliban would take our country by fighting not peacefully like how it happened, and they would kill alot of people, including the president.
Yall always have to attack our president, he’s one of the bravest❤ proud of him.
@Fatema Sherzad The Taliban might not be fighting now, but how long before public executions without trials start? At best the body count changes by a couple of percent.
@Fatema Sherzad Good to see you’re proud of a man that was a fraction of a millimeter above useless. Apparently that makes you remarkable in Afghanistan.
How much cash did he run away with?
@Fatema Sherzad yes true
peacing out when his people need him the most. classic politician move. he’d fit in well with our Congress.
George W. Bush dragged us here first!

@Isaiah G-M ah yes, the “he started it” defense. A powerful debating tool from the 3rd grade, I remember.
@Isaiah G-M What are we, ten years old? Oh wait no, your probably a well informed gamer.
The US “embassy” is now located INSIDE a fully armed helicopter “on location at the airport”. 🥴🙄😜
Hahaha lol that’s where they deserve to be
Biden was asked if this was like Vietnam literally and said “There will be no helicopter leaving the roof of the Embassy.”
He should have said: “We just moved the Embassy to a more convenient location for helicopters.”
That cracked me up when I heard that
The US lied to the world that they were training them to self govern
@kdzmatrr mat They were training them, the Afghans just didn’t bother to memorise the lesson.
These ministers are like:
Don’t worry Don’t cry…
Stay High 🚬and fly…
“it will be stated that the I.S.I. defeated the Soviet Union in Afghanistan with the help of America.”
“The I.S.I., with the help of America, defeated America.” said Gen. Hamid Gul Ex DG ISI
I did know that as well.
what a master leader we lost just too early.
