Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in his new book, called former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani “a total fraud” who was only focused on staying in power, acted as a hurdle in peace talks and finally fled from the country when the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan.
In his book “Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love”, Pompeo alleges both Ghani and former chief executive of Afghanistan Abdullah Abdullah of being involved in corruption which limited the ability of the US to exit the war-torn nation successfully in August 2021.
'It took us a few hours – and remarkably good work by our teams on the ground in New Delhi and Islamabad – to convince each side that the other was not preparing for nuclear war,' the former US secretary of state wrote.
