The United Arab Emirates says it has accepted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and his family for “humanitarian considerations.”
Ghani fled Afghanistan just as the Taliban approached Kabul.
The statement carried by the UAE's state-run WAM news agency on Wednesday did not say where Ghani was in the country. It quoted the country's Foreign Ministry in a one-sentence statement.
Meanwhile, the Afghanistan embassy in Tajikistan has demanded Interpol police to arrest former Ghani, Afghan National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib and the former Chief Advisor to Ghani, Fazel Mahmood.
The arrest was demanded after Ghani, Mohib and Fazel were accused of theft of the treasury. The Afghanistan embassy demanded that Ghani should hand the treasury over to an international tribunal to restore the people's wealth, local media reported on Wednesday.'
The reports said Ghani fled Afghanistan with $169 million.
The Russian embassy in Kabul had claimed that Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, who fled the country after the Taliban seized the capital Sunday, took four cars and a helicopter full of cash with him.
