The move comes just hours after Taliban militants entered the outskirts of Kabul and sought the unconditional surrender of the nation's central government.
Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has reportedly fled the country for neighboring Tajikistan after Taliban militants entered the nation's capital Kabul, on Sunday.
When reached for comment Sunday, the president's office said that it"cannot say anything about Ashraf Ghani's movement for security reasons," according to Reuters.and sought the unconditional surrender of the nation's central government. The city marked the last major government stronghold, after Taliban insurgents seized power across the country in just over a week.
In a statement Sunday, the Taliban said it was awaiting a"peaceful transfer of power" in Kabul and that would not take the capital by force."No one's life, property and dignity will be harmed and the lives of the citizens of Kabul will not be at risk," the insurgent group said. Many Afghans now fear a return to extremist rule, particularly in its harsh treatment of women. The last time the Taliban ruled the country from 1996 to 2001, it barred women and girls from working or receiving an education, and required women to be escorted by a male relative when leaving the home.
