New Delhi, 17 August 2021

As per news report of NDTV, In a Twitter thread on Monday detailing how he worked at the bank until terrorists were at the gates of the city, Acting Governor Ajmal Ahmady also said that US dollar supplies were dwindling and described escaping the capital on a military flight. "On Sunday, I began work. Reports throughout morning were increasingly worrisome. I left the bank and left deputies in charge. Felt terrible about leaving staff," he said. "It did not have to end this way. I am disgusted by the lack of any planning by Afghan leadership. Saw at airport them leave without informing others." Ghani fled Afghanistan on Sunday as Taliban terrorists entered Kabul virtually unopposed. Their arrival, barely a week after they captured faraway provincial capital Zaranj, was disorienting, said Ahmady, 43. He was appointed acting governor of Afghanistan's central bank just over a year ago, having previously worked at the US Treasury, the World Bank and in private equity, according to a short biography posted on a government website.
