Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is likely to resign and leave the country with his family

According to unconfirmed reports, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is likely to resign. The move comes as the country's second and third largest cities fall into the hands of insurgents as the Taliban intensifies its hangover in areas around Kabul.

Sources told News18 that the move was part of an "emergency ceasefire" in which the government tried to strike with the Taliban instead of ending the deadly strike.

Ghani will address the nation on Saturday and he may announce his resignation during the speech, sources further say, and may move to the "third country" with the entire family after the president resigns. He added that there is. But Afghanistan was not interested in the movement.
