  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 12 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 13 hours ago

“In a country already devastated by the twin crises of war and COVID-19, the desperate lack of dollars in the market is leaving importers unable to pay for their shipments. Food is becoming scarce and grocery stores are unable to fully restock. As prices rise, people are rushing to withdraw and spend their savings before the banking sector collapses. Private businesses are not able to fund operations, shutting down and laying off the privileged few who still have jobs. A growing number of Afghans are suffering from hunger, poverty, and a lack of access to basic goods and services. In short, the country is in a total humanitarian crisis.”

“We are requesting them to unfreeze Afghan assets and not punish ordinary Afghans because of the political discourse. Because of the starvation, because of the deadly winter, I think it's time for the international community to support Afghans, not punish them because of their political disputes.”

“The main challenges for women are those reflected across the country at large - the financial and economic. Most Afghans live in rural areas where people depend on agriculture rather than formal employment to make a living. But now, they are struggling to get by and there's a massive surge in food insecurity. Women who were in the public sector, alongside the men, are receiving salaries irregularly, if at all.”

“Charity from people helped me a lot. But now, there's nothing [coming in] and I understand why. People are jobless. There are thousands of widows in this country who used to work. Now that the Taliban has taken over the country, all women have been made to stay home. What can a woman do to support her family? Things were better before. My kids were going to school - girls and boys. We used to receive donations, and women were free.”

“Unless action is taken immediately, Afghanistan is heading for chaos. Any government when it can't pay its salaries for its public servants, hospitals, doctors, nurses, any government is going to collapse but chaos suits no one, it certainly does not suit the United States.”

“Even before 15th of August, half the population below the poverty line, years of corrupt governance, 75 percent of the budget supported by foreign aid. Now a country in that situation, after 15th of August, if the foreign aid dries up, the foreign funds get frozen, banking system freezes, any country is going to collapse, let alone Afghanistan which suffered for the past 40 years.”

“The US is unhappy about leaving Afghanistan, the people who are here and who were allies to the US want to create economic problems here. The money that they have frozen belongs to Afghanistan or to Ghani? Why is the world not telling the US that this money belongs to the people of Afghanistan, not the government officials? Economic problems are increasing day by day. When a country plunges into economic problems, it will not only affect that country, but will also affect other countries. Our only demand is that the US should show the same behavior toward the Afghan people and government as it does with the world.”

“The assets should be freed immediately. The Americans don't have any military front with us now. What is the reason for freezing the assets? The assets don't belong to the Mujahideen (Islamic Emirate) but to the people of Afghanistan. The US froze our assets and then told us that it will provide us humanitarian aid. What does it mean?”

“It is as bad as you possibly can imagine. In fact, we're now looking at the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth. Ninety-five percent of the people don't have enough food, and now we're looking at 23 million people marching towards starvation. The next six months are going to be catastrophic. It is going to be hell on Earth.”
