She called former President Ashraf Ghan a <x0-frequent” for leaving in neighbouring Tajikistan.

“He left the presidential helicopter palace Sunday, and he told his colleagues he was going to a meeting with Defence Minister” said Ershad.

I'm so angry I can't describe it in words. He left the country and people. I don't know why I trusted him and voted for him,” added the former delegation.

Yesterday, a former vice president told the BBC that Afghan leaders had asked Ghan to leave the country to avoid bloodshed, adding that now the former president was planning to return to the country one day.
