CNN speaks with Kabul Mayor Mohammad Daoud Sultanzoy about the collapse of the Afghan government and who is in charge of managing the country's largest city under Taliban rule.

Kabul mayor tells CNN why he stayed while other leaders fled
He has more balls and pride then the cowardly president who fled in fear and his money too!
Yes they said the president took the gold with him…while his people go hungry…piece of garbage that president is…
Just walk out the door, Joe. That’s all it takes to right the ship. You are the anchor weighing us down. You are the drop of motor oil contaminating America’s fresh water supply. YOU are the problem, Joe, along with the entire Democrat Party, a cancer eating away at everything good and decent in this country. Just walk out the door, Joe. Nobody wanted you there to begin with.
@Tony Yes it took Trump a lot of balls to release thousands of battle hardened Taliban fighters, that’s for sure.
He sold out or was put there for the coup = Taliban. Just like Trump. And he looks like My Pillow traitor
@M Hall he fixed it by getting out. Afghanistan isn’t our problem. It’s our problem only when they harbor terrorists. Fxxking Bush and his Neocons who think colonization is a good thing.
It takes courage to flee to the mountains and continue the fight. It takes massive balls to stay out in the open without a gun and continue to stand for your principles. Good luck sir.
Not if your on the payroll
It takes no balls to be a draft dodging racist with dementia like Potato Joe.
@Dixon Uranus it takes even more bravery to troll Biden on the internet, right?
@kevdaag I served long ago, and Biden doesn’t garner my respect.
You can hear the frustration with the corrupt government officials in his voice.
This mayor comes across as a solid guy.
I hope for the Afghan people that he is.
@Dale James Biden didn’t reverse the order surrendering the country to the Taliban…
Should he have done so
Was trump right is giving the country to the Taliban in your opinion?
@mpalfadel2008 Getting out is not the problem. Obama should have got out after killing Bin Laden. If you are truthful you know this. Here’s more truth. Trump’s and Biden’s administration both knew the Afghans would not fight once our troops were withdrawn. Both were warned by the Defense Department. The problem is how you do it. Now if you are truthful you know CHINA JOE ROYALLY SCREWED UP. Our allies feel betrayed by CHINA JOE. Who would trust us to go into battle with us again? What do you think the people in Taiwan and South Korea are asking themselves right now? Especially after CHINA JOE LEFT 40,000 AMERICANS BEHIND IN AFGHANISTAN.
He is a Taliban leader, a plant for the coup. A traitor like all Taliban / Trumpers
@Puffin he was apart of the government prior to current events
Try again…
@mpalfadel2008 yes put in place by the same Prez who fled, and Karzai, Bushs puppet, negotiated with the Taliban = coup. And Trumpers are TeamTaliban
Good for him. More Afghans should have stayed and help build their country.
@N Q I glad joe withdrew!
Enough is enough!
The mission was to get binladden move on!
@azendant forces Afghanistan wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for Biden and his administration
@Abdi. Abdulle. not true Afghanistan was being ruled by Taliban 20 years ago !!! Afghan go back and get those weapons that you gave the Taliban and fight for your own freedom !!! Stop trying to blame Biden for your country problems that’s been going on for over 20 years
@Abdi. Abdulle. go back and fight for your country stop fleeing to airport !!! Afghanistan expected US and their allies to stay and fight for ever ???? Nope enough is enough 20 years and trillions spent for what for Afghanistan to lay down their weapons and flee to the airport shame on you 😡
@Gloglam Tarot I think Biden is a okay president I just don’t think that Afghanistan would be in this position if the US didn’t interfere 20 years ago
I am very impressed with the courage of this man.
maybe only the corrupt fled
WEMISS TRUMP
He’s not wrong. He could have fled and most likely gotten into that airport so good for him. He deserves all the credit and maybe he can help shape a better Afghanistan then if the Taliban were alone in charge
I’m praying for that man & others like him. He loves his country, & I hope they let him keep his life for it.
Joe Biden undid all the great accomplishments President Trump made. Are you telling me that Joey couldn’t undo this “deal” with the cavemen Tolley bon?
Nope he is a traitor, Taliban supporter, like Trumoers. He looks like My Pillow guy
@Willie Shook boy did he ever. Do you think we will ever know who Biden is going to leave to die on Aug 31st? You can combine all of CNN’s viewers and still need a decimal point in front of the first digit.
@Thomas Tomoson Read a damn history book. Maybe you’ll see what the country is all about. If your God trump did the same you would defend him. Too bad fox disabled the comments section again huh?
@Ted Williams I’m older than Biden. I’ve lived HIS history. Everyday is an IQ test. Please try to compete.
This is a brave man, no matter what happens from here, he made a hard choice in staying.
Or maybe he in bed with Taliban…Americans trust these people to fast and easy. Just like we gave their army all salaries for them to only stop fighting after the money stopped. He even saying the Taliban should be the Gov. These people play the US to easy. Get Wise!!
Unlike Joe. Joe’s a complete coward. Somebody needs to tell him: “Just walk out the door, Joe. That’s all it takes to right the ship. You are the anchor weighing us down. You are the drop of motor oil contaminating America’s fresh water supply. YOU are the problem, Joe, along with the entire Democrat Party, a cancer eating away at everything good and decent in this country. Just walk out the door, Joe. Nobody wanted you there to begin with.”
@Herb Superb Joe this Joe that. S T F U you bot.
This man must make a deep clanging sound when he walks. Chapeau and !salute! Mr. mayor! He’s clearly quite brave, resolute and hopeful – willing to lay down his life for his people and some form of democracy. He knows good and GD well his life is on the line if things go sideways. Which they very well could. Whew – props to this brave soul! I will pray for him and his goals. And, “No!”, I’m not particularly religious, but that’s not the point…
This guy here has some massive balls. Hopefully the Taliban doesn’t kill him.
Dead man walking in what isn’t his country anymore. Thank you biden
They won’t
He even has the flag next to him. Very bold.
Appreciate the mayor’s courage here, it seems like he truly cares about serving the people of Kabul and working toward some kind of positive future for the country.
No he is a sell out traitor, Taliban. Like all Trumpers
please, he in bed with them!!
He may care, but he is a puppet as power is concentrated centrally, like all religious autocracies. He will have very little power, causing him to fail, and then will be blamed for the failure and be replaced by a taliban lackey who will make things worse.
The anchor trying hard to make him say something bad about taliban but he looks like a person who is in control of his situation. CNN could not get the answers of their liking. Tst tst tst !!!
It was an awesome piece. I bet CNN is extremely happy with his answers.
This is a true leader who shows greatness
If only he had a country to lead.
Ashraf Ghani should be turned over to an international criminal court.
Why no one mention this. If it happened with any European leaders they straight away get verdict but Ashraf ghani robbed and sold this country and no one care.
They were just Taliban plants for the coup. This guy looks like My Pillow traitor
He is a brave man, I believe he speaks truth. I wish him well.
Sounds like he’s doing his best in impossible circumstances to minimize the impact on the people.
His inner strength to stay is outstanding considering the odds stacked against him.
Hamid stays Abdallah stays sure Taliban aren’t going harm them just over reaction and propaganda
The keyword that got me freaking out is that they let him stay to be mayor still🤔
