China News Agency, Beijing, August 15. News from Kabul: Abdullah, chairman of the Afghan National Reconciliation High Commission, said on social media on the 15th that Afghan President Ghani has left Afghanistan.
Abdullah posted a video on social media.
In the video, he referred to Ghani as the "former president of Afghanistan" and stated that he had left Afghanistan.
In addition, Abdullah called on people to remain calm and asked the Afghan forces to cooperate to ensure safety.
He also called on the Taliban to allow some time for the talks before entering the capital Kabul.
According to Reuters, Ghani's first destination after leaving Afghanistan was Tajikistan.
The Afghan media TOLOnews quoted Taliban spokesman Mujahid as saying that in order to prevent robbery and chaos in Kabul, Taliban forces will enter certain areas of Kabul and occupy some outposts that have previously been withdrawn by security forces.
He asked people not to panic because they entered the city.
Mujahid said earlier that they were discussing the "peaceful transfer of power" with the Afghan government in the capital, Kabul, but refused to accept the transfer of power from Ghani.
On the same day, the Acting Minister of the Interior of Afghanistan Abdul Sattar Mirza Kwale said that the government will hand over power to the transitional government.

The Russian satellite network reported that a delegation headed by the head of the Afghan Taliban Political Committee Baradar will take over the office of the President of Afghanistan.
