Operations of dozens of international organizations in Afghanistan suspended

Jumhuri Mudara: following the suspension of US government aid to Afghanistan, Taliban officials have stated that the operations of dozens of international organizations in the country have been suspended.

According to Abdul Latif Nazari, deputy minister of economy of Taliban, the activists of 50 international aid organizations have been halted in 28 provinces of the country.

Mr.Nazari stated that the operations of these organizations have ceased due to the suspension of US aid to Afghanistan. He emphasized that the international community should keep humanitarian issues separate from political affairs.

International organizations active in Afghanistan provide services to citizens in various fields such as health, education, environment, and agriculture. The suspension of their operations will create difficulties for the people.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has suspended his country’s foreign aid, including the transfer of cash packages to Afghanistan, for the next 3 months.

Following the suspension of the US aid to Afghanistan, the country’s relative economic stability has shaken, and the value of the Afghani currency has declined against the US dollar.

To maintain the value of the afghani currency, the Taliban have injected millions of dollars into the market multiple times to prevent further depreciation of Afghani.
