Here is what #AshrafGhani did to #Afghanistan. 1) he spent years centralising the government and handing over offices to diaspora from the west. Stripping the ministries of work and their memory. All the heads have fled the country and now it’ll take years to restart [1/4]
2) He had months to realise he was losing the war and discuss a democratic transfer of power to a third body but he delayed it till the eleventh hour only to flee. Now the #Taliban do not have any formal body to talk to. [2/4]
3) He caused the disintegration of the Afghan Defence Forces. This is will be the darkest of his legacies. An institution that had trillions of dollars invested into it is now no more. [3/4]
4) The political and security vacuum he left in his wake led to the looting of hundreds of properties. All of this could’ve been avoided had he not lived in his alternative reality and accepted that he was losing the war. [4/4]
