RASC News Agency: Poverty is spreading in Afghanistan every day, the economic situation is getting worse and people are complaining about the lack of work and income.
Now, two years have passed since the Taliban regained control over the country, but this group has not yet been able to organize the livelihood and economic situation of the people.
Jan Mohammad, one of the shopkeepers of Kabul city, says that most of his customers cannot afford to buy the food they need.
He said: “Before this, our sales situation was good; but now people’s pockets are empty and they either don’t buy the materials they need or they get very little.”
On the other hand, the city is full of poor and hungry people and hundreds of women gather in front of bakeries to receive bread.
Some of them told RASC news agency: “The head of our family was killed by the Taliban in the war, and we have no one to work for; Believe me, we sleep hungry many nights; this situation has forced us to beg.”
Meanwhile, many young people complain about the lack of business and the reduction of their daily income, saying that they can hardly meet their daily needs with the current income.
14-year-old Janan, one of the workers on the road, says that his father has not been able to provide him with education due to his lack of funds.
He now fetches water for the bazaar shopkeepers from a distance with a handcart and earns 300 Kabuli/Afghani rupees a day.
He says: “My father was strange, that’s why I couldn’t study and had to work; So that my father and I can eat together and provide food for our family.”
Economic experts believe that international aid organizations should not politicize their humanitarian aid. In the current bad economic situation, they need to increase their aid to the people of Afghanistan, so that poor families can meet their basic needs by receiving humanitarian aid.
This is despite the fact that with the Taliban group regaining control over Afghanistan, most of the international aid organizations have reduced their activities in Afghanistan due to the lack of funds.
