President Ghani fled the country last week after the Taliban took over the country, including the capital Kabul.

Later, he appeared in the United Arab Emirates where he was received on “humanitarian grounds,” according to the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

Taliban took over Kabul, causing big chaos all over the country. Meantime, the U.S. government is struggling to ramp up a massive airlift clearing Americans, other foreigners, and vulnerable Afghans through the Kabul airport.

“Any Americans who want to come home, we will get you home,” Biden said while vowing to help Afghans who’d assisted U.S. forces in the country and others who might be in danger.
