The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghani-stan (UNAMA) once again called on the Afghan people to have access to its foreign exchange re-serves.
UNAMA tweeted “will work to help provide more support to the Afghan people and economic stability in the country.”
UNAMA has once again called on governments and actors to find ways to support the Afghan people during the current crisis.
The new UN call comes, when Joe Biden the Presi-dent of the United States recently issued an execu-tive order according to which, out of the seven bil-lion dollars of reserves of the Central Bank of Af-ghanistan kept in a bank in New York and frozen after the takeover of the Islamic Emirate, 3.5 billion were paid to the families’ of 9/11 victims.
This command has provoked a reaction.
Money changers went on strike in most provinces of the country yesterday. T hey say the 9/11 attacks has nothing to do with the Afghan people.
They also said that $2 billion of Afghanistan’s fro-zen money was the property and commercial capital that had been deposited in the country’s banks.
The protesting money changers also said that if the issue of compensation is raised, the first is, Com-pensation is not relevant to the Afghan people be-cause the United States has identified the perpetra-tors. If it comes to compensation, it is the United States that must pay the price for its 20 years of war and aggression in Afghanistan.
On the other hand, economic experts say that the freezing of billions of dollars of Afghan capital by the United States is one of the main causes of the current humanitarian crisis in the country, which threatens the lives of millions and will turn this threat into a crisis.
Hussam al-Din Matlab, a professor at a private uni-versity, believes that no country has the right to plunder another country’s foreign exchange re-serves. They maintain their foreign exchange re-serves in the United States, which could damage the credibility of American banks.Abdul Shakur Dadras, law aware emphasizes, The money does not belong to the governments of the United States and Afghanistan and no one has the right to decide on it. This money supports the cur-rency of Afghanistan. Is the country.
It follows from these statements that the United States has made a big mistake regarding Afghani-stan’s bank loans in that country, not only Afghans but also a large number of countries in the world and the United Nations have condemned Biden, it is better that the judiciary The United States should reconsider its recent decision and consider its own authority. —BNA
