The Taliban on Friday asked the international community to release the funds for Afghanistan blocked after the insurgents took power, and highlighted the “immediate need” to disburse the one billion euros in aid agreed by the G20 countries two weeks ago. .
“Winter is just around the corner, so there is an immediate need for the international community to urgently disburse the nearly € 1 billion aid package agreed during the extraordinary G20 meeting,” said the spokesman for the G20. Taliban in Qatar, Suhail Shaheen, on Twitter.
The fundamentalist spokesman also called for the unlocking of funds for Afghanistan, which many countries and institutions paralyzed with the Taliban taking power.
“We call on the international community to support Afghanistan by unlocking nearly $ 10 billion of assets from the Afghan people and to summarize the aid and development projects promised … during the 2020 Geneva Conference,” Shaheen said.
The Asian country is mired in a serious humanitarian crisis, which has worsened since the Taliban took control of Kabul on August 15.
Last Monday, a United Nations report warned that about 23 million Afghans, more than half the population, will face one of the worst food crises in the world as of November.
Shaheen said the need for help is especially urgent to provide support “to all the poor, vulnerable and displaced population” by decades of conflict.
The Taliban’s request joins similar calls made from the UN in recent weeks to allow the battered Afghan economy to recover a minimum for a few months while deciding what to do about the international sanctions that exist against the Taliban.
The G20 countries, a group that celebrates tomorrow and after its summit of leaders in Rome, agreed on October 12 a series of aid aimed at alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe in Afghanistan, assuming that to implement them it will be inevitable to speak with the new Taliban government. (I)
