Awesome :rolleyes:. SO the US made a deal with the Taliban while the people elected two different Presidents. Can't get any better than this.

UPDATED 6:40 AM PT — Tuesday, March 10, 2020The Afghan opposition held its own presidential inauguration to protest the reelection of President Ashraf Ghani. During a ceremony in Kabul on Monday, Afghan opposition leader Abdullah Abdullah was proclaimed the nation’s president following highly contested elections last September.
On the same day, President Ghani was sworn in for his second term in office. This standoff came just days after the U.S. negotiated a peace deal with the Taliban, which some have said may now be in jeopardy.

On the basis of our people's clean votes, I took the oath of office as President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, alongside our 1st and 2nd Vice Presidents. I thank the nation, our team & allies for their support. We are determined to form an inclusive government soon.
The Afghan opposition said Ghani failed to ensure peace, adding that they may appoint an alternative government.
“If we had not compromised in 2014 for national stability and unity, the country would have been in crisis, but now the case is quite the opposite,” stated Abdullah. “And if we were to accept the result of fraud under any name this time, it would mean the end of democracy in Afghanistan.”
The Afghan opposition leader went on to say his key priority is reaching lasting peace with Taliban, including by making concessions if necessary.
