The U.S. Treasury Department has given humanitarian organizations a green light to provide aid to Afghanistan, easing concerns that antiterrorism sanctions on the Taliban could prevent the country from getting the food and other supplies it needs to stem a growing economic crisis, according to people familiar with the matter.
Treasury’s nod, which came in private conversations this week, is a response to pressure from aid groups and banks eager for assurance they won’t be punished for undertaking humanitarian relief or handling the associated financial transactions. It is unclear whether the informal guidance has fully addressed their concerns, as prominent coalitions of aid groups have asked the Treasury Department to issue formal waivers.
QaharBalkhi The world should trust The Taliban, they are a thousand times better than many civilized societies in the world. Don’t listen to fabricated stories about them Taliban
Great idea. Not only will the Taliban have millions worth of American arms but now we'll put them on welfare. We probably need to send instructors though to teach them to fly the Blackhawks.
That is good. It is wrong to starve the Afghan people. But why is the US still sanctioning Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, and other countries?
Natsecjeff Jana_Shah please confirm
Let them eat cake
I do not pay a dime.Italy first
Wtf?
In the right track. When you are prepared to do business with the Taliban what's the point in sanctions.
Really? IED’s everywhere installed by Isis! Along all airports! And villages!! All lies coming from our Government! Sad!
An appreciable move. This would avert an imminent humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan
This as they’re hindering and beating people who are trying to leave. And who are we sending the money to
Sure all that money will end up in the right hands!
The US$9B belongs to Afghan people.

At least they won't starve ...and will get aid much needed

He said the movement had not agreed to an extension of the Aug. 31 deadline set by the United States to pull out of Afghanistan and wanted all evacuations to end by that date. He also denied reports that Taliban patrols were conducting house to house searches to find targets for reprisals, saying: 'We have forgotten everything in the past.' Biden bows.

'Nothing can stop us': Afghan female robotics team defiant after fleeing TalibanThe team became a symbol of progress in modern Afghanistan, taking part in competitions around the world. 'The Taliban have said women would be allowed to work. But reports from Afghanistan said bankers and employees of public offices were escorted by Taliban on their way home. They were told their male relatives could start working in their place.' Yes. Only the Afghan people themselves can make Afghanistan 🇦🇫 the country most people want it to be, not an outside power. We know it’s going to be a Muslim country and must accept that. How orthodox they want to be is also their right. That’s ridiculous! If you want to fight for your country, you fight from inside its borders not by asking for sympathy from elsewhere in the world! Hypocrites 👎

Taliban tell Afghan women to stay home because soldiers are 'not trained' to respect themFear is mounting for women and girls in Afghanistan after the Taliban told working women to stay at home, admitting they were not safe in the presence of the militant group's soldiers. Is there no international concern about women's rights in Syria, Iraq and Palestine? I hope the world cuts them off in all directions. Who would have thought that the terrorist would terrorize.....SHOCKING 😱
