Javid Ahmad Qaem took to Twitter to detail how he had to scrape cash from the embassy's bank account to pay staff after the Taliban seized Afghanistan last August.
Afghanistan's ambassador to China left a colourful resignation note for his post-Taliban takeover successor on Monday -- revealing that staff had not been paid for months and that a lone receptionist had been left to answer phones. The end to an honorable responsibility: I quit my job as Ambassador. It was an honor to represent AFG ???????? and my people.There are many reasons, personal and professional, but I don't want to mention them here. I have handed over everything smoothly through a handover note. pic.twitter.com/a4A6y7yOBP

"Since we did not receive salaries from Kabul for the last six months, we assigned a committee from within the diplomats to solve the financial issues," Qaem wrote in a letter to Afghanistan's foreign ministry dated January 1 but posted to social media on Monday.
