Mullah Abdul Ghani likely to become new Afghan president

Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar is likely to become the new President of Afghanistan as Ashraf Ghani has reportedly stepped down from the post and left the country for Tajikistan. 

Ghani was left helpless after the Taliban quite literally ran over province after province in a matter of days.

The battered Afghan Army at many cities surrendered to the Taliban without even putting up any resistance.

Though Kabul has not been officially declared to be captured by the Taliban, the Afghan capital has been surrounded from all sides by Taliban fighters.

Taliban fighters are reportedly waiting outside Kabul and are said to be not keen to go in.

Taliban said it is not seeking revenge and that all civilian and military officials will remain safe.
