People are still climbing the wall in Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan.
They are doing this to avoid the Taliban checkpoints.
Conversation
The Vice President of Afghanistan, pre Taliban takeover, has declared himself the caretaker President of Afghanistan.
Constitutionally this is correct however, given the situation & Foreign states are already in talks with the Taliban, it's moot.

Clarity: As per d constitution of Afg, in absence, escape, resignation or death of the President the FVP becomes the caretaker President. I am currently inside my country & am the legitimate care taker President. Am reaching out to all leaders to secure their support & consensus.
