Nov 8, 2022, 12:23 GMT+0

Taliban announced that Afghanistan has exported goods worth 1 billion and 85 million dollars in the past seven months. The Afghan products have been exported to Pakistan, Iran, India, Tajikistan, United Emirates, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, China, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.

No further details of the export of goods and products have been provided. However, carpets, dried and fresh fruits, vegetables, coal, medicinal plants and semi-precious stones are the main exported goods.

The economic deputy of the Taliban’s Prime Minister’s Office said that if this exporting process continues until the end of this solar year, the number of Afghanistan’s exports will reach two billion dollars. This is despite the fact that from the beginning to the end of the solar year 1400, goods worth 850 million dollars were exported from Afghanistan to other countries.

Earlier, the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) previously reported the surge in Afghanistan’s exports to Pakistan on November 4, in a report. According to the SIGAR report, Afghanistan exported 796 million dollars to Pakistan between 2021 and 2022.

However, Mullah Baradar has stressed that the Taliban "will not allow any group to use Afghan soil against another country".

Many aid agencies and activists are concerned about how this aid money is being spent

The United Nations offices in Afghanistan have not responded to these concerns about the spending, supervision, and distribution of aid money by the Taliban.

In fact, as per a May 2022 report published by the Europe Asia Foundation (EAF), the aid given by the world is not distributed efficiently by the Taliban, moreover, war-torn Afghanistan is facing a dearth of funds after sanctions were imposed by donor nations after the Taliban took control of the country.

The report informs that international humanitarian aid to the tune of USD 1.88 billion pledged since mid-2021 has not been distributed efficiently and more than half of all Afghans go hungry.

Nov 7, 2022, 13:54 GMT+0

Iran International announced that the London police have reported serious threats to the TV staff in the UK from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRCG is a military organisation that is supervised by the Iranian regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

The regime of the Islamic Republic has repeatedly criticised the Iran International network for its extensive coverage of the nationwide uprising by Iranian citizens.

The UK-based Farsi-language network announced in a statement that its employees have been informed of threats against them by the London Metropolitan Police.

The statement referred to increasing threats from the Islamic Republic and added, “The Metropolitan Police has now officially informed our two British-Iranian journalists that these threats pose an imminent, credible, and significant threat to their lives and their families."

Iran International stated, "Our journalists have been harassed on a daily basis on social media, but these threats against the lives of British-Iranian journalists working in the UK are a significant and dangerous escalation of the government's campaign to intimidate Iranian journalists working abroad.”

Iran International statement added, "The death threat to British citizens on British soil comes after several weeks of warnings by the IRGC and the Iranian government about the activities of a free and uncensored Persian-language media operating in London."

This statement emphasised that the UK has been the symbol of freedom of speech and Iran International is “proud to serve the 85 million people of Iran by providing independent and uncensored information”.

Iran International referred to the repressions of the Islamic Republic in its statement and added that the “Islamic Republic of Iran and especially the IRGC cannot be allowed to export its brutal media repression to the United Kingdom”.
