UK calls for NATO and UN to convene, Afghan president says he fled “in order to prevent bloodshed”.

The Taliban said there will be no transitional government and demanded immediate control while Afghan president Asraf Ghani fled the country.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for NATO and the UN to convene in high profile meetings following the Aghan president fleeing the country as the Taliban seizes control of Kabul.

“The prime minister called for meetings of NATO’s North Atlantic Council and the UN Security Council to take place as soon as possible to enable high-level international discussions on these issues,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

Two Taliban officials told Reuters on Sunday there would be no transitional government in Afghanistan and that the group expects a complete handover of power.

I don’t have any confidence in either one of them, they’d probably make things worse.
