President Ghani – A disgrace?

The Ex-President of Afghanistan flew from the country yesterday and has taken temporary asylum with his close ministers. Ashraf Ghani took to Twitter and announced that he has resigned from his position as president and had left the country because of the uncertain situation in Afghanistan. Ghani tweeted that he only left the country to avoid all kinds of bloodshed in Kabul. He didn't announce where he went. Still, soon after his statement on Twitter, people started speculations that Ghani is now in Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan.

According to reports, the president's close allies who remain in Afghanistan are calling him a coward, unpatriotic, irresponsible, and a disgrace for leaving his people behind at the hands of the Taliban. Ghani hasn't responded to any of the comments made to him directly or indirectly.

US president on the Afghan situation

It seems like the US president Joe Biden is in shock after the Taliban took over entire Afghanistan in less than a few days. The US has been a big player in the Afghanistan Politics and military situation for many years. After the US president's recent draw-back of the Army, the Taliban started invading capital districts of provinces and managed to take over the country in less than a week, and that too without any opposition from the US-trained Afghan Army.

In the US breaking news today Joe Biden says, in his previous interviews, expressed his views on the power of the Afghan Army. He said, "The Taliban takeover is simply inevitable because the Afghan Army is well trained, has modern warfare and is more in number than the Taliban"!

To his surprise, it only took 75K Taliban to beat an army of 300K in less than a week.

Biden hasn't issued an official statement on the matter but has sent out around five thousand US soldiers to evacuate his people from the new Taliban Territory safely.

Trump Slams Biden

The ex-US president, Donald Trump, held a press conference after the takeover by the Taliban and criticized Biden for his weak strategy and lack of responsibility towards the people of Afghanistan. Also, know that Donald Trump has also demanded immediate resignation from the Biden Government in light of the ongoing events in Afghanistan.

Taliban says, 'We want Peace.'

After taking over the presidential house, the Taliban have requested the people of the country to remain calm and steady as their keen interest is to protect them and provide them with an Islamic State where the rights of every woman, minority, and human being would be protected according to the Shari Laws of Islam. They have also added that they are keen to work with countries from all across the globe but would certainly not let anyone interfere in their country's matters!

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
