Former adviser Ghani told why the president hid his flight from Kabul from the United States

Former national security adviser Hamdullah Mohib told CBS about this in an interview.

He confirmed that the helicopters on which the ex-Afghan president and his entourage left Kabul shortly before his occupation by the Taliban, deliberately flew low so that the Americans would not spot them.

“That's exactly what happened.

Trust (in the Americans. -

) has disappeared, "TASS quotes Mohiba.

The ex-adviser to the head of state explained that the day before he had asked the United States a test question: he asked Washington to clarify whether Ghani and his associates would be taken out of Kabul if the deal on transferring power to the Taliban did not work.

"In response, they refused to bind themselves to any obligations ... It is already shameful enough that we lost our country, we did not want to lose another president so that he ... was killed," the source said.

On August 15, the head of the Supreme Council of Afghanistan for National Reconciliation, Abdullah Abdullah, confirmed that the President of the Republic, Ashraf Ghani, had left the country.

Earlier, in the course of his video message, he promised to return to the country in the near future.
