KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations says nearly 95 percent of Afghans are facing starvation and the frozen assets must be devoted to their welfare.
In February, President Joe Biden moved to freeze about $7 billion in assets held in US financial institutions by the Afghan central bank.
Biden took the action in the wake of the Taliban takeover, as he vowed to direct $3.5 billion to humanitarian aid and preserve the rest for families of 9/11 victims.
Meanwhile, the New York Court is scheduled to decide on the fate of the $3.5 . . .
