US should return long-suffering Afghan people’s money: Karzai
#1
Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai expresses strong objection to the United States’ ongoing confiscation of billions of dollars of the Afghan central bank’s assets.

“The assets that the US has confiscated belong to the Afghan people. These assets used to buttress the central bank and Afghanistan’s coffers,” Karzai told Iran’s Arabic-language news network al-Alam on Tuesday.

“These assets do not belong to any certain government, but to the Afghan nation only,” he added.

The administration of US President Joe Biden has frozen nearly $9.5 billion in assets belonging to the Afghan central bank since the hasty withdrawal of its occupation forces from the country in August 2021.

On Wednesday, Deborah Lyons, the special representative of the United Nations secretary-general and head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), warned that Afghanistan's economic collapse was "approaching a point of irreversibility."

“We hope that the US president changes his decision and returns the long-suffering Afghan people’s money,” Karzai urged.
