Afghanistan's ambassador to Tajikistan Mohammad Zahir Agbar has accused Afghan President Ashraf Ghani of stealing USD 169 million from state funds and has called on international police to arrest him. Ghani fled Afghanistan on Sunday, just as the Taliban approached Kabul, and his whereabouts remained unknown until Wednesday, when the United Arab Emirates said it has accepted him and his family on account of 'humanitarian considerations.'
