#BREAKING: President Ghani has recorded a resignation message to be released any moment, Mohib & Fazly confirms to a reliable source.
My source confirms that people close to President Ghani like Esakhil left, with bags of dollars.
Taliban intends to capture President Ghani and VP Saleh and humiliate him, situation critical.
#Breaking The president had a meeting last night in Arg attended by the US ambassador and offered to resign.
The only person resisting resignation is @AmrullahSaleh2
@ARG_AFG announces the message will be released in 7 minutes. 
@ashrafghani : I have a historic responsibly not to allow the imposed war continue to take lives “any more”.
Not a direct reference to resignation yet, but clearly paving the way for leaving office: “I have a historic responsibility not to allow bloodshed from an imposed war, any more.”
This is President Ghani’s first video message, a second one is recorded just last night. Watch the space, reliable source.
It has also been confirmed to me that 3k US troops & 1k Britishers are not only for evacuation, but also for transition, local sources.
Reading between the lines: No Taliban reactions to the US/UK redeploying hundreds of troops to AFG, another sign of security for transition. No imminent threat to Kabul despite Taliban in Wardak, said @PentagonPresSec Kirby yesterday.
