US did not participate in organizing the escape of the ex-president of Afghanistan Ashrafa Gani from Kabul. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in an interview with the Afghan Tolonews TV channel.
Diplomat assured that he communicated with the Afghan leader a day before he escaped from the country. According to Blinken, Ghani was ready to fight the militants of the Taliban (the organization prohibited in the Russian Federation) to the end. “We are about work that was held in Doha, the transfer of power. In the event that this is not crowned with success, as Ghania said, he is ready to fight to death,” he said.
On September 8, Ghani issued a statement in which he said that the decision to leave Afghanistan was the hardest in his life. According to the ex-president, he left Kabul to prevent street fighting and bloodshed, as happened in the 1990s, when a civil war went.
On August 15, Gani escaped from Kabul to the capital of the Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi. It happened when the Taliban entered Kabul and moved to the Palace of the President. According to some reports, Gani stole a large amount of money from the Afghan budget before Escape.
