@CrystalBayat37@RepBrianMast This is such a misleading and inaccurate statement. Shah Mehrabi was on the board of the Afghanistan central bank before the Taliban, his integrity and skill-set, shouldn’t be questioned like this.
Afghanistan is on the brink of economic collapse, with the local currency at an all-time low and food prices on the rise. Hunger continues at unprecedented levels throughout the country.

The latest floods and the earthquake in #Afghanistan are just recent examples of how important immediate funding for emergency humanitarian responses are.

‘My Life’ Is a short one minute documentary series produced by Gulzad media production, covering the lives of Afghans from across the country.
The first story is of Sabar Gul, one of the survivors of the recent earthquake in Gayan district of Paktika.
Sardar Naim was talking earlier this week with Channel 5 News regarding the recent earthquake in South Eastern #Afganistan and Gulzad Foundation’s emergency food distribution program to the victims of the disaster, from Gulzad Foundation’s HQ in Kabul.

Meanwhile in Afghanistan... tens of thousands seeking refuge; five million children facing famine; 500% increase in child marriages; children being sold to feed families... Not a mention of it.
My god, they must be wondering what makes their humanitarian crisis so unimportant.
Tom West, speaking at USIP, says the US hasn't "made a judgment" that the $3.5B taken out of the $7B in Afghan assets will be used for humanitarian assistance & UN. He leaves open the possibility it could instead be used for "future recapitalization" of the Afghan central bank.
Starting now: I'll be testifying in front of @SenateForeign on behalf of 3,000 @RESCUEorg staff in Afghanistan, and especially on behalf of our clients. Watch it live here: https://t.co/33In9abK6G
"Today, Afghanistan is not just a poor country. It is a starving country.
Today, Afghanistan faces a catastrophe of choice. Not the choice in Kabul or Herat or Mazar-i-Sharif, but the choice in Washington, London and Berlin." — @DMiliband to @SenateForeign
As this difficult year comes to an end, war tired Afghans simply ask for a better 2022 from the world. A year of peace... restoring respect for humanity!
Like 4the rest of four decades of turmoil, we at @UNHCRAfg are here, standing with the people of Afghanistan
Acting FM Amir Khan Muttaqi & his accompanying delegation left Kabul for Islamabad today to attend the OIC meeting on Afghanistan on Sunday. Talking to reporters at Kabul airport, Muttaqi said no one will be allowed to threaten any country from Afghanistan’s territory.

The economy of #Afghanistan has deteriorated sharply, since over 3 months there is no sight of improvement. Financial systems have collapsed, businesses have immensely declined, no foreign investment at sight and the largest humanitarian crisis ahead. The world should act NOW!
News release | To avert a catastrophe, agricultural assistance is urgently needed
“We need to help Afghanistan avoid a hunger trap. Millions are living on the edge of catastrophe - which will occur if their animals die or fields go unplanted,”said @FAODG
