Afghanistan: Haqqani Seeks Release of Afghan Assets by US

KABUL, 17 July 2022, (TON): Speaking to a gathering in the southern province of Khost, the acting minister of interior, Sirajuddin Haqqani, called on the US to free up the $7 billion in frozen Afghan central bank assets, calling the ban an unjust decision.

Haqqani said “the formation of an inclusive government will come into effect itself whenever the western ideology is removed from Afghanistan.”

Haqqani said “did they achieve anything over the past 20 years? Now, they have frozen the Afghans’ assets and have taken revenge on a certain number of people. You fought against them for 20 years.”

Haqqani said “Afghanistan should not wait for recognition and that essential steps needed to be taken.”
