The former Afghan president fled the country on Sunday - but it is unclear where he went or where he currently is.

In the aftermath of the Taliban takeover of Kabul, there was speculation he had travelled to a neighbouring nation like Uzbekistan or Tajikistan and other reports he had headed for Oman.

On Wednesday there were unconfirmed and unverified reports he had been spotted in Abu Dhabi.

The departure of Mr Ghani - president of Afghanistan since 2014 - remains deeply controversial. Government ministers have been among those to criticise him for fleeing.

Mr Ghani defended the move, saying on Facebook: "To avoid bloodshed, I thought it would be better to leave".
