Afghanistan's Ashraf Ghani is present in the UAE: ministry
Dubai: The United Arab Emirates (UAE ) revealed on Wednesday that Afghanistan's former president Ashraf Ghani is present in its territory.
The statement of the Gulf state's foreign ministry followed controversy about the whereabouts of Mr Ghani who left as Taliban fighters seized control.
"The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation can confirm that the UAE has welcomed President Ashraf Ghani and his family into the country on humanitarian grounds," it said in a statement.
Ghani left Afghanistan on Sunday evening, with no announcement or clear reporting on where he was going. As the Taliban entered the presidential palace and declared the war “over,” Ghani said he fled to prevent “a flood of bloodshed.”
“The Taliban have won with the judgment of their swords and guns, and are now responsible for the honor, property and self-preservation of their countrymen,” Ghani said.
