I'm sorry but we don't feel confident that this money will arrive where it should. The Taliban can kindly request aid from their neighbors, they were very clear about wanting NO western influence whatsoever in their country. The Taliban can rethink their position about basic human rights, but if they don't want Western influence in their kingdom of Allah, then they shall have no Western influence.

[@antlerman7644]

Unfathomably based

[@nvmtt1403]

I love how you conveniently decided that they asked for western influence specifically. look at the thumbnail. it says humanitarian assistance, it does not even mention western states. I did not hear a single official mention NATO or the usa for assistance. I am pretty sure they do not expect help from people who literally stole their national treasury and is holding it hostage.

[@yongbinsong9676]

You really want to ask for help and receive assistance? then you have to improve human rights visibly, there is no such free lunch in the world ever.

[@SubhanAIS]

Human rights? The west needs to learn that. Taliban's has not massacred millions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gazza. The audacity of lecturing on human rights.

My condolences to those that lost their loved ones. May Allah forgive the sins of the dead, and took them upon His embrace. Brothers and Sisters of Afghanistan have suffered so much, but I'm confident you will steadfastly endure. No other country can claim that they have beaten back the Invasion of Soviet AND America.

Funfact: Afghanistan opium production drop below Myanmar. Now, Myanmar is the largest producer of opium in the world. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. UNODC: Afghan opium poppy cultivation plunges by 95 percent under Taliban ONLY after U$A departure , Afghanistan able to close down most opium production. Now you know who is the culprit .

[@franny5295]

It's amazing what happens when people who have learned to hate you are forced to ask you for help and you actually help them, no strings attached. The Taliban scares me but they don't have any trouble getting weapons. Helping them simply because they are human beings and they're suffering can start to mend hearts. We suck, we're gonna let all those people suffer because (insert excuse).
