People with war disabilities in Afghanistan demanded the release of their country’s assets in the United States.
A group of people with disabilities in Afghanistan’s two decades of war staged a demonstration in Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province, on Wednesday, condemning the US President’s recent order to seize their blocked funds and calling on the Afghan government to seize the Afghan nation’s assets. Give them back.
According to IRNA on Wednesday, a large number of disabled people from the war in Afghanistan, which was accompanied by the US occupation, staged a protest march in Nangarhar today, demanding the release of their country’s foreign exchange reserves. US President Biden has condemned the allocation of $ 3.5 billion in state assets to the families of 9/11 victims.
According to the report, the marchers, who started their protest in front of the Central Bank office and ended it on Pashtunistan Road, carried handwritten slogans demanding the full release of Afghanistan’s confiscated assets in the United States, chanting anti-US slogans. The country must stop making cruel decisions against the Afghan people.
They believe that the citizens of Afghanistan have no role in 9/11 and that the United States is looking for an excuse to embezzle Afghanistan’s wealth. The United States must not only free Afghanistan’s assets; It must also compensate for the damage it has done to the Afghan people over the past 20 years.
The protesters also called on the United Nations and the international community to stand with the Afghan people and put pressure on the United States to release all Afghan assets and provide them to Afghans.
Earlier, in Nangarhar, as in other parts of Afghanistan, there were protests against the recent decision of Joe Biden, which was attended by thousands of people. Protesters have called the decision unjust.
Meanwhile, today the Afghan capital witnessed hundreds of Afghan athletes marching in various disciplines chanting “Death to America”, “Death to Burjuden”, “Release our money” and “9/11 has nothing to do with Afghanistan”.
