A year after he cowardly fled the country, leaving millions of people who had voted him to power in limbo, former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is trying to play a martyr.

The China Pakistan Economic Corridor, the CPEC, is a reinforced bilateral partnership project meant to enhance bilateral, accelerate economic progress, and ensure sustainable development.

Former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has blamed the United States for the collapse of his government earlier this year, saying Washington sidelined him during the so-called peace talks with the Taliban.

According to a report published in Wall Street Journal, undercover Taliban agents – clean-shaven, wearing jeans and sporting sunglasses – spent years infiltrating Afghan government ministries, universities, businesses and aid organizations.

The Russian president said “the weapons are perhaps the only thing that the Taliban received after the West’s twenty-year military presence in Afghanistan.”

Where is Afghanistan's economy after trillions of US dollars spent and two decades of corruption and ineptitude, where is it headed to next, or what's left of it, under the Taliban?

The Taliban offer amnesty to the country’s runaway President Ashraf Ghani and Vice President Amrullah Saleh, saying they may return if they so wish.
