Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani has taken refuge in the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf nation says.
Mr Ghani left Afghanistan as the Taliban advanced on the capital city Kabul over the weekend.
The UAE's foreign ministry said the country had welcomed Mr Ghani and his family on humanitarian grounds.
In a video address later on Wednesday, Mr Ghani denied fleeing and said he had left to prevent what he described as a "huge disaster".
"For now, I am in the Emirates so that bloodshed and chaos is stopped," he said. "I am currently in talks to return to Afghanistan."

So the United Arab Emirates is accepting refugees. Good to know.
That is one man I hope the Taliban brings to their sense of justice.
More like a “Pay to Stay” kind of arrangement.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST COWARDS OF ALL TIME.
"..so that bloodshed and chaos is stopped,".."
Yeah, his.
The UAE has a rational immigration policy.
If you can’t fork over a million bucks, you do not enter the country.
That means you get shot on sight if you are an illegal invader.
By a cop driving a Bugatti Veyron, no less.
Yep, I’m not Taliban fan, but I won’t shed a tear if they got to him.
Yeah
