Afghanistan’s Ambassador to Tajikistan, Mohammad Zahir Agbar, has claimed that President Ashraf Ghani had taken $169 million with him when he fled Afghanistan.

He said that Ghani should be arrested and the wealth of the Afghan nation be restored, Ozodi reported.

Speaking at a news conference in Dushanbe on Wednesday, Agbar called Ghani’s escape a betrayal of the state and the nation and claimed that he had taken $169 million with him.

Agbar announced that Amrullah Saleh, Ashraf Ghani’s first deputy, was legally the President of Afghanistan now.

Ashraf Ghani handed Afghanistan over to the Taliban. We had more than 350,000 equipped troops, experienced military personnel, and they did not fight the Taliban. And we saw this in part in the northern regions of Afghanistan that border Tajikistan. There are more than 20 districts there. And they went over to the Taliban without mounting any resistance, Agbar said in an interview with Eurasianet.
