Ghani said that as far as running away with money is concerned, it is completely baseless.

UAE accepted on humanitarian grounds
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said it has accepted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and his family on humanitarian grounds. Ghani had left the country before the Taliban could even reach Kabul. UAE’s official news committee ‘WAM gave this information in one of its news on Wednesday. However, he did not specify where Ghani was in the country.
Taliban says it has changed
After the Taliban took over the country, its every move is being closely monitored. The Taliban says it has changed and will not re-impose the kind of restrictions it imposed during its previous regime, but people are not sure about them. The manner in which the protest on Wednesday has been called off may add to the apprehensions of the people.
