KABUL, 23 January 2022, (TON): Three members of the US House of Representatives of the United States have issued a letter to President Biden urging him to release Afghanistan’s assets to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.

They said that helping the Afghans is not only a moral responsibility of the United States, but also contributes to the security of the United States.

The letter reads “we have not just a moral obligation to help the Afghan people, but a national interest in preventing Afghanistan from once again becoming a safe haven for our enemies.”

The letter also reads that the United States must uphold its promises toward the people of Afghanistan and make sure the progress made in the last 20 years is not lost.

They said in letter “when the last American troops left Afghanistan, the United States promised that we would not abandon Afghanistan. That is a mistake we made once before with grave consequences for our own security, as well as for the Afghan people. We must uphold our promises and do what is necessary to ensure that the progress made in the last 20 years is not lost.”
