However many of his promises, such as fighting corruption and turning the country into a trade hub between central and south Asia, were left unfulfilled.

His position was also weakened by political rivalries, his attempt to lessen the power of ex-warlords, and an uneasy relationship with the United States regarding the war.

On 15 August 2021, his term ended abruptly, as the Taliban took over Kabul.

Ghani and staff fled Afghanistan and took refuge in the United Arab Emirates.

He later stated he left in order to avoid further violence, and that staying and dying would have accomplished nothing but adding another tragedy to Afghanistan's history.
