Former president Ashraf Ghani, who fled the country last month as the Taliban entered Kabul, apologised Wednesday to the Afghan people, because “I could not make it end differently.”
Ghani said he left Kabul after palace security advised him that staying “risked setting off the same horrific street-to-street fighting the city had suffered during the Civil War of the 1990s.”

He described leaving the capital city as “the most difficult decision of my life,” but said it was necessary “to keep the guns silent and save Kabul and her 6 million citizens.”
Ghani again denied stealing millions from the treasury.
