Afghan President Ghani Says He Left To Prevent “Bloodshed”
DUBAI, Aug 19 (NNN-WAM) – Afghan President, Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, claimed last night that, he “decided to leave my country in order to prevent bloodshed.”
Ghani made the statement, addressing his compatriots, in their native language Pashto, during a live Facebook broadcast from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Ghani said, “If I had stayed, I would be witnessing bloodshed in Kabul.”
He also issued a rebuttal against his critics who said he left Afghanistan hastily, saying that, “those who think that I fled should not judge, if they don’t know all the details.”
