Taliban Urges US To Show “Heart” After Raking In $1.2 Billion At UN Donor Conference
The Taliban is urging the United States to have a “heart” and step up and pledge humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, as well as unfreeze sanctioned assets. The provocative and deeply ironic statements (after a 20-year occupation which Washington ostensibly framed as “helping” the Afghan people) came after a donor conference in Geneva on Monday resulted in $1.2 billion in aid pledged.
