Taliban Asks Japan For More Assistance to Afghanistan
Mullah Mohammad Abbas Akhund, the Taliban’s minister of disaster management, discussed the current situation of Afghans with Okada Takashi, the ambassador of Japan in Kabul. According to the ministry, Abbas Akhund sought more assistance from Japan for Afghanistan.
The Taliban’s demand for assistance from Japan comes even though the group has always claimed that Afghanistan's economy is improving under the group’s reign.
However, according to local and international organisations reports, poverty has been on the rise in the country and half of the Afghan population is at the risk of starvation.
