Afghanistan: Taliban invites Ghani to attend Afghan assembly

KABUL, 17 May 2022, (TON): Former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has been asked to attend the Afghan Assembly, according to a Taliban diplomat.

The Taliban ambassador to Moscow, Jamal Nasser Gharwal, was reported by Russia’s Sputnik news agency as stating that the group had organized an “Afghan Assembly” conference and that Ashraf Ghani had been invited to visit Kabul.

Before the Taliban captured Kabul on August 15, 2021, Ashraf Ghani and his wife fled from the presidential palace, and there are claims that he carried about $21 million from the central bank’s reserves.

Political figures who had sought asylum outside of Afghanistan, according to Nasser Gharwal, are asked to attend. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid had previously told the media that the meeting would take place soon.

According to reports “members of different sections society will be invited to the meeting, which is expected to be comprehensive.”
