The Taliban has called on members of the United States Congress to act to release Afghan means firmed after their August preemption of the country.
In an open letter on Wednesday, Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said the biggest challenge facing Afghanistan was fiscal instability, “ and the roots of this concern lead back to the freezing of means of our people by the American governme
.“ I request … so that doors for unborn relations are opened, means of Afghanistan’s Central Bank are defrosted and warrants on our banks are lifted,” he wrote, while advising the profitable fermentation at home could lead to trouble abroad, egging mass migration that “ will accordingly produce farther philanthropic and profitable issues”.
Washington has seized nearly$9.5 bn in means belonging to the Afghan central bank since the Taliban took power. In October, Deputy United States Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told a US Senate commission he saw no situation where the Taliban would be allowed to pierce the Afghan central bank reserves
.Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s aid-dependent frugality has effectively collapsed – with civil retainers overdue for months and the storeroom unfit to pay for significances.
While concerned nations have pledged hundreds of millions of bones in aid, numerous are reticent to commit finances unless the Taliban agrees to a further inclusive government and to guarantee the rights of women and nonages.
“ I present to you our respects and would like to partake a many studies on our bilateral relations,” Muttaqi wrote, noting that 2021 was the centenary of Washington recognising Afghanistan’s independence.
Akin to other world countries, our bilateral relations have also endured ups and campo,” he added, de-emphasizing the 20- time-long- war between US- led foreign forces and the group in the country.
To date, Washington has not recognised the Taliban as the licit government in Afghanistan, although last week the administration of President Joe Biden blazoned that Qatar would serve as its politic representative in the country.
‘Understand enterprises’
In the letter, Muttaqi argued that Afghanistan was enjoying a stable government for the first time in further than 40 times – a period that started with an irruption by the Soviet Union in 1979 and ended with the pullout of the last US colors on August 31.
The Taliban had preliminarily ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, making brutal programs that violated mortal rights, particularly for women and girls. Their return to power has sparked fears about mortal rights.
