Civil activists in Kabul ask for release of Afghanistan’s reserves
A group of civil activists in Kabul asked US president Joe Biden to unfreeze Afghanistan’s assets and prevent the country’s economic collapse.
The activists in a press conference on Sunday, March 20, 2022, said no Afghan was involved in 9/11 so they urge the international community especially the US to unfreeze the assets of the Afghan people.
They have also expressed concern about the private sector being in a dire economic situation as $2 billion in the total money frozen belongs to them.
Freezing the assets has stopped hundreds of projects across the country.
“Projects worth millions of dollars have been stopped. Afghans cannot even do business with the US and Asian countries. Our businessmen cannot buy things in the UEA and cannot do imports to the country.” Said a participant of the conference.
This is the latest reaction of the Afghan people over the frozen assets of Afghanistan. The US has lately announced that they will allocate $3.5 billion to the victims of 9/11.
The decision has sparked the national and international reactions of people and organizations.
