It has been one month since the Taliban captured Kabul and seized control of Afghanistan.
But with foreign funds drying up, Afghanistan and its new government are facing a cash crisis.
With the cash shortage has come an increase in the prices of everyday items, and employment is in short supply, leaving many Afghans struggling to make ends meet.

#AfghanistanCrisis #Taliban #Kabul
It is easy to conquer country hard to manage one. The Taliban must realize this. This is not the 90’s, Afghanistan has progressed so much.
As if war is humanitarian
War was there official crisis and now you expect a month of control everything to be magically resolved
terrible logic and news
america needs to give back there assets murderers
Even if Uncle Sam had Afghanistan’s assets (which he doesn’t) they should about cover the equipment left behind and the infrastructure created.
@digidanshow
ohh they payed don’t you worry about that, they payed dearly and for what…
20 years of death pillage and laundering and you think the equipment they left behind was not payed for?
in time America will have to pay
equilibrium will be met either in this world or the next sonny boy.
time will unravel all
@Osman Odeh May the Taliban dictatorship be all you wished and prayed for.
@digidanshow if they are just and honourable then I will support them
How can “western countries” get away with freezing Afghanistan central’s banks assets.
Those assets belonged to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan which no longer exists.
Haha I thought the Taliban won the war ? Hahaha 😝
Any foreign occupiers didn’t do anything to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 For past 20 yrs tats the fact except aiding of Qatar tat must be appreciated.westerners already killed million in bombing in Syria Iraq and Afghanistan and now they r freezing to killed people in hunger without throwing bombs ie strategy 2.
@Mustafa 786 Any Taliban strategies you wanna bring up ?
o well that’s the truth
And yet Northern Alliance traitors still support corrupt Ghani government who didn’t pay their own people for months
These traitors that left are now in America or Europe!
They are to blame. Tgey left the Country in chaos.
So they have not been paid for MONTHS !!
Clearly shows that America DELIBERATELY created the crisis before leaving.
Yep, Uncle Sam controls all the banks in the world and was cutting checks for the Afghan government workers. Ha Ha Ha… get real.
Reporters name is
Osama bin Javed
When Pakistanis started acting like Arabs
You seems to suffer pain from that.
@Waqar Younus bin ie son or daughter of is used by arabs
Hindu dhimmis sons daughters consider them6as arabs
@Shrihari Kulkarni teray to pait main dard hota hai musalman ko dekh kar.
You can now create your own farming and food growing, you can still live great, I see so many great homes off the grid even on YouTube, can’t they invest in the equipment, change over from a monatary system, use resource based system, I can’t believe it, they’ve got a whole country now to re arrange a new living style, you don’t need western technology or banking systems, invent a new way of doing things and living…
@Ramneek Kumar why coudung is a food for indians?
@The CCP is a parasite pakistan isi is at the core of this , unless a democratic afganistan which is more powerful than pakistan is established , Taliban will remain to be the terror factory through isi
@Ramneek Kumar Afghanistan…democracy. Scratch that. About as democratic as Iran.
What are you talking about? Pakistan sent its terrorist entity which literally shut down the country overnight. Crops don’t grow overnight and in a country like Afghanistan which is semi-arid, we can’t grow crops everywhere. Let’s put Pakistan on a blacklist of terrorist countries so it can stop growing terrorists for a hobby. Then Afghanistan will have peace. The blood of Afghanistan’s people is on the Taliban, Pakistan and their supporters.
@Lollyanna Greens they can Starr working out how to farm the land, like Saudi Arabia have converted some desert into farming, look it up, they can find out what the best resource Afghanistan has, and Starr to manufacture and distribute that resource, or trade it for other important resources they need, figure out solar energy powered homes, cars are unnecessary, strengthen public transport or construct new light weight horse and carriage style, horse power can do a lot, it did all through the dark ages and right up until the invention of motor car, horses were the world’s greatest means of transportation, go back in time, and they’ll be able to base a lot of the new system with the old and ancient techniques
At some point have uneducated ,religious cavemen in charge will show itself.
More educated more currupt, more lies, more cheating,
*_Wow no face mask, looks like no Covid in Afghan_*
Lol, the TLB is asking for help to the mess they created!!
You mean mamarica created
@boba Thick
whatever, still they are too stupid to take over others mess
I don’t remember it being Babylon 5 weeks ago or even 10 years ago
Finally true peace attained by
Afghan people without foreign western devil’s interference.
Calling western devils a devil while china’s using the support as domination. Y’all focused on the western countries but how about china?
When villagers (with basic qualification of misinterpretation of Islamic teaching) try to take over a nation…. dooms day!
@Muhammad Mafaz What goods? The only thing Afghanistan makes which anyone wants is heroin.
@Gordon Brown were you in coma for last 20 years? looks like you never watched news until recently.
@M H You don’t seem to have a coherent point. “You are wrong because I said so” is something I left behind in primary school.
@Gordon Brown in taliban period heroine business went down which you don’t know.
@Muhammad Mafaz I never said it didn’t.
However, Taliban controlled areas increased production of heroin when we had a democratic government in Afghanistan.
But regardless you seem to have forgotten which goods that America was getting from Afghanistan.
I told you that there weren’t any really because Afghanistan doesn’t make anything that anyone wants. You are completely silent about this.
Most people in Kabul don’t know what money laundering is? Fin Traca is now finished. Haji Mohammad Idris , central bank governor and Taliban loyalist, is not complaining. The Financial Tranaction and Reports Analysis Center of Afghanistan was a financial intelligence unit which worked against terror funding and smugglers. Without Fin Traca the central bank will not get any international support and Afghanistan descends into a failed state haven for drug smugglers and terrororists.
May Allah curse America for what it did to beautiful country
May your Allah bless his people ! They look so sad…hungry too hahaha
America is a Christian country ! No one can curse what God Created !
Man made crisis by West
Shame on you.
If taliban don’t change they will be suffering
No, No….we have it all wrong. No humanitarian crises. We should keep asking about the future for women!!!
Taliban means power of iman
Terrorists can provide you weapons not food..
I find it odd that the woman interviewed gave an almost direct quote of the guy at the beginning. She memorized her script very well.
So many Taliban losers begging for money.
Nonsense, don’t portray as though the Afghanistan was like paradise before Taliban took over
The Taliban has to leave
According to you this is peace😅😅😅😅
Still better than Rapistan 😅😅😅😅
✔️Taliban has to take over Pakistan and implement shariah law..we welcome Taliban rule in Pakistan..come to Pakistan
@digidanshow thats ok ..US didn’t have that thought while leaving weapons to terrorists and fled..we love to see another world trade center incident …
@Home Arathy Ha Ha Ha… so now the Taliban are going to fly 20 year old Blackhawks all the way to the US and strike some buildings. I’ll be watching for them. LOL
@Home Arathy you are an indian account trying your best to advocate more war.
There is already islamic law in pakistan. We love pakistan
@The Fighter’s Arena want Taliban rule and shariah law in Pakistan…Pakistan love Taliban rule
Peaceful govt doing its thing 😂
Taliban??? They only know praying!!!
The cash shortage is caused because of the freezing of Afghan cash reserves by the USA. They withheld nearly 10 billion dollars. The IMF and the World Bank are playing negative roles which are dominated by the USA.
We condemn this idea of failing the new Afghan government.
How responsible would it be for the international banks to turn over billions of dollars to a rag tag bunch of thugs with machineguns? When (if) the Taliban establish a functioning government the assets will be released.
The Great Hero Taliban ! Desolate and Confused are your people !!!
What’s your business here anyway?!
Hope Osama bin Laden favourite news channel Al Jazeera will help them with money and food.
See … it wasn’t 20 years of war … but 20 years of international and American aids.
Crisis in a Muslim nation…no…that’s a first. How can you tell them apart from Scandinavian or Dutch peoples ?
Its ridiculous thinking of the western goverments to freeze Afghanistans assets and cash and expect the goverment to deliver peace and prosperity. Taliban goverment has done good and kept it promise of peaceful exit for the US and the their Afghan helpers and given better rights to women than expected and included minorities in the cabinet. Delay in funds will cause poor to join isis k sort of groups who are financially strong.
Firstly Soviets attacked , pakistan helped in that
Then Americans attacked , pakistan helped with that
Now Chinese have come for resources , pakistan brought them
Next Taliban is coming for paxtan
Next China, Taliban, Pakistan, Saudi, Turkey are coming for India. Saudi and Ambani Already bought Modi.
@S. M. M. We have us for china . Israel will take care of Turkey 🦃. Saudi is a friend of India , modi was invited at oic , imrand Khan wasn’t remember . Watch in a day or two paxtan will get sanctions from us . No money= death of paxtan and Taliban . China is like a shrewd businessman . If he cared so much about paxtan and Talib what about uighur ? Lol if Ambani wants he can purchase the whole of paxtan and Taliban he has so much money
@Ramneek Kumar No you don’t have us for china…us is begging to china at this moment..try watching other news than cowdung indian media.
@M H go read about quad and aukus
Do a swap programe guns for food make a trade hopefully the 3 mill nz sent will pay for food love not war
Secund 18 theres a bullet hole in the wardrobe LMAO
cash shortage should drive price lower. low demand more supply. the actual happen is afghan has few money left to buy food. but people still not dying. the best action is to provide food relief dont wait hunger
👍
Economically country will be bankrupt. Now Pakistan, China have to bail out Taliban .
Whoever has been paying and supporting the taliban can continue to pay and support them,sone the people want them in charge so badly.
I wish the government can consider a community mindset of building container homes (since they have the resources) and provide land to the people to grow their own food just to tide the people over this difficult period. Jobs will come by and by. Winter is coming please hurry.
Excellent idea 👍
Yes Taliban is good,nothing wrong.
Let’s join hands to support terrorist with media help.ha ha
I heard she was saying the security is not good as before but aljazera translated other way
Kabul didn’t fall , it was the corrupt & super weak government drowning in weakness and corruption that fell , and the people who never resisted because taliban was exactly what most of them want , plus , what has changed exactly ? NOTHING , the only big change is women have to wear hejab , that’s all . you gotta stop brainwashing people , the old government was at least 100 times worse , dirty rats.
ugh. no more hijabs and no child policy for those below poverty.
Is covid causing mayhem throughout Afghanistan, if not, why not
Al-Jazeera the new spokesman of taliban🖕🏼
Aren’t they were celebrating for the past days? it’s their choice so they should live with their choices,
they were celebrating the quash of parasitic colonistic occupation’s end. They chose to have their own rule in their own country and not having parasites sucking the natural resources dry anymore.
@M H ok then let them be on their own, being introduced to modernization by progressive countries is not bad for as long as it provides jobs and money to citizens – investments in the country but of course we live in a free world choose to be modernized or you can choose to be primitive
@M H natural resources should be utilized enhanced to create investments barter business with other countries what if natural resources if only kept it can’t do anything compared to allowing investment flow in the country it creates jobs
West: Women and girls being oppressed by Taliban
Afghan women and girls literally starving to death and need aid
West: Crickets
taliban’s responsibility now
Curse of Bamiyan Buddha
Taliban wanted Afghanistan, you got it.America is done with you.
Osama bin javaid i though ……….
Did the girl simply repeat the exact words which the foreign minister said? Not much range in vocabulary huh?
700 dollars rent for a small telephone repair shop in Kabul?? Seems a little steep if you ask me
Only Interest free economic system can help humanitarian cause…rest rubbish.
Taliban deserves suffering.
They killed millions in the name of Islam.
Pak is fooling world community to recognise Taliban so that it can continue double game.
Pak aim is rebuild Afghanistan with foreign aid so that it can focus on nutruing Jaish, Lakshar towards Kashmir.
India need to be vigil. Now, India can find out the real friends.
thanks 1% that after along time you r showing slightly Pro Talibaan news… may CREATOR bring U Jajjera to the TRUTHFUL path … AAMEEN !
taliban are gay
Al jazeera seem so genuinely concerned. I guess its time for Qatar to give them their excess money rather than spending it with obscene luxuries.
It’s easy to pull trigger than running a economy. Because pulling trigger doesn’t need education, running economy do.
Oh did you hear Taliban Isis and Al Qaeda are finally being slaughtered thank God that I am God and did you know they’re trying to use women and children for four and aid and we’re not going to have it that’s our tax paying dollars that help you what’s wrong y’all can’t run a government without it ain’t that too bad too sad I told you last year I wasn’t going to marry you people and this year the queen still am not marrying you infidels
Blocking funds of foreign aids America boosting about humanitarian cricis in Afghanistan
You have the Taliban, now what? Are women doctors going to be equal? Doubt it!
Many fail to realize that Afghanistan is a poor land locked nation with little local economy and little successfully exploited natural resources. It was only able to modernize in a limited way due to American involvement and hundreds of billions of dollars in cash shipments for 20 years. All of which is now at risk as Taliban will not be able to match American sponsorship nor the international trade relationships necessary!
Well, if Pakistan has not invaded it via its terrorist proxy, the Taliban, the country would be stable enough to start extracting its resources. However Pakistan wants to steal Afghanistan’s mineral resources by creating war and instability. The blood of every Afghan is ultimately on the hands of Pakistan.
Western government have frozen the account of Afghanistan which was already on survival edge and then they come up with a report blaming the Taliban. Is this called Justice …or you are trying to trade hunger with your set of democracy by force.
Correction: Afghanistan stares at humanitarian crisis
Civil war among the Taliban will surely break out
Afghan ppl – well time to go to different country
Also, i hope taliban wont stop that
TaliBAN too busy banning stuff to care.
This is normal when a brutal, evil terrorist organization takes over. What do savage terrorists know about running a government?
GOD GIVEN RESPECT TO TALIBAN .INDIAN PAID MEDIA SPREADING RUMORS AGAINST TALIBAN. UK REJECTED USA AS HEGIMON. NEXT CHINA IS THE HEGIMON. WITH 28T$ DEBT WITH BAD HUMANITY RECORD IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN NOW WORLD NOT AGREE TO ACCEPT USA AS HEGIMON. KEEPING AWAY FROM WAR CHINA MORE STRONG FINANCIALLY. TALIBAN ONLY CAN BEUNG BACK PEACE UNITY PROGRESS IN AFGHANISTAN BY APPLYING STRIKT RULES.
The only way for their country to move on is to give their citizen especially the women the equal freedom for education. Your strict taliban ideology will not give any progress to the country you decided to control.
ITT: Indian supremacist keyboard warrior hijacking the thread
Bhookhi talwar jang ko nikal jayengi fir 🙂
The blood of Afghanistan’s people is on the hands of the Taliban, who are terrorist proxies of Pakistan and hence, Pakistan and all those who support the Taliban. The economy has been on a free fall since the Taliban took over and Pakistan sent its intelligence chief to hand pick the worst of the terrorists and make sure that the economy and government would collapse. It’s goal is to send back Afghanistan so through war and an economic collapse since it has always seem a strong Afghanistan as a threat, fearing that the territory that was illegally added to Pakistan from Afghanistan in 1947 by the British would be taken back by a strong Afghanistan, and wanting a terrorist entity inside Afghanistan to fight India and to steal Afghanistan’s resources. It has been illegally taking timber there for more than 40 years, deforesting the nation. Although Afghanistan has a 5,000 year rich history (while Pakistan was created in 1947), Imran Khan tried to manipulate world opinion by saying the issue with Afghanistan was that it was tribal; Afghanistan’s tribal system has been there for hundreds of years but Pakistan’s Taliban terrorist proxy is around 26 years old. Tribalism isn’t the problem, Islam isn’t the problem, but Pakistan’s terroristic invasion is. It’s time to drop Pakistan’s mask and expose it for what it is; a terrorist nation that has destroyed Afghanistan and its people.
everything will alright Inn Sha Allah
Thank you Al Jazeera for actually reporting on the reality of the situation in Afghanistan; now, catch up to the massacres the Taliban are committing, the North Korean like suffocating society and you will be caught up a little bit. For a while there, you were sounding like the Taliban mouthpiece.
Selling a music system while Taliban is in power ?😃
Taliban just are there for one month and world wants it to undo work of 40 years
Peaceful? Of course, these people are the culprit of monthly suicide bombers.😝
Qatar, instead of erased this comment, starting a financial aid is more useful for Afghan people.
That is caused by america
So you froze their assets and expect them to delivery their promises on humanitarian issues. Even if they are sincere you still want humanitarian crisis. Hypocrisy at its best.
How jihadi run govt?
Aj giving white wash ,actualy common people never never trust on these creatures.
Whether ruled by leftover Western weapons or by Arab ideals Afghanistan is not ruled by Afghans.
We have homeless tent cities all over america and drug swine. I would love to see the Taliban clear that issue up.
Even in the Middle Ages you need the scholars to run a country
Lol 😂 they have money to arm so they should figure it out how take care of those promises they made… lol be heading people it’s never the sympathetic to that type of lol human or perhaps creatures in human flesh that think they have right for the sake of man made law to intervene in Divine Energy lifecycle in another human body as their… self chosen creatures
“Although Afghans have not seen this level of peace and security since decades”
Then it does not make any sense if Afghans r migrating.
What happens in a backwards country when it’s no longer propped up from the outside is its own fault.
Afghans no wear mask😷, no social distance
People doesn’t need to depend government don’t get lazy what is the different between 20 years ago and today so I don’t understand why everyone blame taliban?
$750 for rent in Afghanistan sheeeeesh
Wat crises??u always say afghan government. There no afghan government its taliban government.
In my country of Somalia the uk, uae and kenyan funded terrorists have been reduced to only 10% of the country. Our Somali National Army is resurgent. But Somalia is easy flat country. Afghanistan is highly mountainous. Many valleys, canyons. Hiding places. The worst possible terrain to fight in.
Respect to those who give respect. You are the one who started name calling. By the way I noticed you edited your original comment. Nice.
Imagine Non-Muslim infidels freezing the wealth of Muslim nations unless they enslave their people to Immoral way of life. SubhanAllah
The Devil’s army
They should use crypto currency if printed money is on short aupply
Taliban: “I loved my previous life. I loved my previous life. I thought it was be easier.”
Afghanistan should use dinar n dirham back or use Turki lira rubel Rusia n Azerbaijan manat for buy sell transaction stop using dolar
