Taliban finance ministry spokesman Ahmad Wali Hakmal said there was not enough humanitarian aid and the money should be returned to the Afghan people.
“The money belongs to the Afghan people. Just give us our money. Freezing this money is unethical and contrary to all international laws and values, “he said.
Reuters Central Bank board member Shah Mehrabi called on European countries, including Germany, to free up their share of reserves to avoid economic collapse.
“The situation is desperate and the amount of cash is dwindling … Now there is enough to keep Afghanistan working until the end of the year,” Shah Mehrabi told Reuters.
He stated that the crisis could provoke a massive migration of Afghans to Europe.
“Europe will suffer the most if Afghanistan does not gain access to this money … People will be desperate. They are going to go to Europe, “he said.
