Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country with four vehicles and a helicopter full of cash, the Russian embassy in Kabul said Monday.
The embattled leader left the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday to the insurgent Taliban fighters who had toppled his government.
“To avoid bloodshed, I thought it would be better to leave,” Ghani, 72, said on Facebook in his first comments after his departure.
The former World Bank academic — who holds a doctorate from New York City’s Columbia University — didn’t say where he was going, but Al Jazeera reported later that he had flown to Uzbekistan.

American money all honestly earned no doubt.

Well, that’s what I would have done.
Emptied the treasury and fled.
He gave a speech in Mazar-i-Sherif 36 hours before he fled the country telling the armed forces they had to stand firm. In two seconds, he was late for the door and I would bet the cash was in US hundred dollar bills, courtesy of we dumb American taxpayers.
that country is the one that supposedly just shot down an Afghan Air Force plane.
taliban trying to do a CIA like mission to get their money back from the refugee President....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
It’s like watching the plot of a derivative/knock-off action unfold over the first few scenes... Probably going to be a Michael Bay flick...

AKA Helicopter Money
Just four cars and one chopper? Piker!
Well he left on a plane so a plane load of money. His plane was refused permission to land in Tajikistan so they landed in Oman. His current whereabouts are unknown. Imma guess the French Riviera. 😏
Sunday’s Landing fee for a Helicopter in Uzbekistan was $5,000,000. WOW strange?
I spotted the problem right here. A globalist, progressive, NWO academic. He represented perfectly the US deep state and its views - which meant he was guaranteed to fail.
The only thing this cretin will fight for is directorship of some think-tank or the last canape at a Mclean VA cocktail party
SOP for being deposed.
It may have been more than 10%
Reported to have fled to Uzbekastan
Cuomo said the same thing
I do not blame the guy. The last time the Taliban took over they castrated and hung the President.
This guy knows his history.
