"In the current situation, the remobilisation of our security and defence forces is our top priority, and serious steps are being taken in this regard," Afghan President Ahsraf Ghani said in a televised speech
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said Saturday the remobilisation of the country's armed forces was a "top priority", as Taliban terrorists inched closer to the capital after routing the country's defences over the past week. "In the current situation, the remobilisation of our security and defence forces is our top priority, and serious steps are being taken in this regard," he said in a televised speech. He gave no hint he would resign or take responsibility for the current situation, but said "consultations" were taking place to try and end the war. "As a historic mission, I will not let the imposed war on people cause more deaths," he said, appearing sombre and sitting before an Afghan flag.More Related News
