Afghan Taliban government
The Afghan Taliban government has asked the international government to restore sanctions and raise the freezing of the assets of the country’s central bank when the country is dealing with the result of an earthquake that killed more than 1,000 people and has left thousands of people who lost their residence this week.
While humanitarian assistance continued to flow to Afghanistan, the funds needed for the long -term development of the country were stopped when the Taliban seized the country’s control last August.
Since then, billions of dollars in the reserves of the central bank of Afghanistan have been frozen abroad amid international sanctions against the Taliban government that has hampered the domestic banking sector and left the country’s new authorities with several reserves.
Islamic Emirates ask the world to give Afghanists the most basic rights, which are their right to live and that is through raising sanctions and not having our assets and also providing assistance,” said Abdul Qahar Balkhi, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs , “Reuters in an interview.
The earthquake that hit the east of the country on Wednesday morning was damaged or destroyed 10,000 houses and also injured around 2,000 people, pressing the fragile health system in the country and submitted a large test for the Taliban government.
The assistance organization has complained that, in the past, the Taliban authority has tried to divert assistance to the regions and people who support their views – or even confiscate goods to distribute themselves and claim credit.
Khan Mohammad Ahmad, a senior Taliban official in a hard Paktika Province, said an international organization that helped with assistance would not interfere.
Whether it’s WFP, UNICEF or other organizations … the international community or the United Nations … They will conduct their own distribution,” Khan said.
“People responsible for Islamic Emirates are here … Our members will always be with them [to help],” he added, referring to the new name of the Taliban for Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is often hit by earthquakes, especially in the Hindu Kush mountains, near the intersection of Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.
Officials said nearly 10,000 houses were destroyed, a worrying amount in an area where the average size of the household was more than 20 people.
Even before the takeover of the Taliban, the Afghan emergency response team was stretched to deal with natural disasters that often attack the country.
But with only a handful of aircraft and helicopters that are worth abandoned since they returned to power, the Taliban’s response to the latest disasters was more limited.
