On December 14, the deputy Prime Minister Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar sharply criticized foreign countries for remaining silent about the United States (US)'s freezing of Afghanistan’s banking assets amid the increasing economic problems in the country, reports Tolo News. “The US is unhappy about leaving Afghanistan, the people who are here and who were allies to the US want to create economic problems here. The money that they have frozen belongs to Afghanistan or to Ghani? Why is the world not telling the US that this money belongs to the people of Afghanistan, not the government officials? Economic problems are increasing day by day. When a country plunges into economic problems, it will not only affect that country, but will also affect other countries. Our only demand is that the US should show the same behaviour toward the Afghan people and government as it does with the world,” Deputy PM Baradar said.
