Tehran(Bazaar): Despite expressing concern over the dire situation in Afghanistan, US officials are helping to worsen the country's living and economic conditions and even pave the way for the expansion of ISIL activities, Esmaeil Baqeri , Research Deputy of the Iranian Cultural Counselor in Afghanistan said Bazaar in form of an article.
Following is the text of his article:
The United States and its allies, who invaded Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting terrorism, creating security and rebuilding the economy, are now facing the worst treatment in the form of economic sanctions since leaving the country,
In the previous Afghan government, the United States has always accused the Afghan government of economic corruption and corruption. However, the Americans are trying to justify or blame the problem of inability and mismanagement of economic aid in the last 20 years; But even if this is true, it does not diminish the accountability of the American government.
The Americans have worked hard for the past twenty years to loot some of Afghanistan's underground mines, such as uranium, thorium, beryllium, lithium, etc., and even during and after leaving the country, its skilled manpower and human resources. They moved the country out of Afghanistan.
This was the claim of the French media in 2013 that part of the dispute between London and Washington at that time was over the extraction of uranium and thorium. The United States later inadvertently cited Afghanistan's rich and pristine mines, estimated at between $ 1 trillion and $ 3 trillion, as part of the reason for its presence in Afghanistan.
Thorium: Thorium is a radioactive metallic chemical element with the abbreviation Th and atomic number 90, which has about 20 million times the energy of coal and can be used as an ideal energy source.
Beryllium: Beryllium is a rare element in the world that is commonly known as a product of the collision of larger atoms with cosmic rays and is used in the aerospace industry, aircraft components and rockets, etc. It is found in nature in the form of braille, which is one of the most precious stones. Beryllium is a hard, brittle, white-gray metal with a volume mass of 1.85 and a melting point of 1280.
Lithium: It has a very important application in rechargeable batteries in mobile phones, laptops and even electric cars. Currently, an alloy of lithium and aluminum is used in the aerospace industry that is lightweight, flexible, strong and durable.
On the other hand, four months after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the government has not yet been recognized for a number of reasons, including the lack of a "comprehensive" government.
Whether or not the current rulers of Afghanistan are recognized, a look at the country's economic situation shows that unemployment along with measles and coronary heart disease and health and water problems, poverty, drought, hunger and poor living conditions, along with Scattered violence has left people in dire straits, prompting the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UNICEF) to warn of a "major humanitarian catastrophe" in Afghanistan.
Deborah Lyons , the UN Special Representative for Afghanistan at the UN Security Council, warned of a humanitarian catastrophe, saying "the Khorasan branch of ISIL in Afghanistan has expanded its reach and now appears in all 34 provinces. This country is present.
"The Taliban campaign against ISIL is worrying and focuses more on extrajudicial detentions and the killing of suspected members of the group."
According to him, the number of ISIL attacks in Afghanistan has increased from 60 in 2020 to 334 this year.
Therefore, it is predicted that along with the economic crisis, the security crisis will also make living conditions in Afghanistan very difficult, while US officials, despite expressing concern about the situation in Afghanistan, are in fact worsening the living and economic situation in Afghanistan and even creating The grounds help to expand the activities of ISIL.
The fact is that the bad economic situation, unemployment, hunger, poverty and deprivation, poor health, etc. have existed in the past, and the Americans, in such a situation, have imposed sanctions on Afghanistan and frozen nearly ten billion dollars of government capital. The country is leading to the spread of recession, rising unemployment, rising hunger and the spread of poverty throughout the country.
The United States has repeatedly lied that the purpose of the "sanctions" is to protect the Afghan people, and again falsely calls for an inclusive and popular government of the Taliban, because economic sanctions and the freezing of the Afghan people's money are in fact economic assassinations of the Afghan people. . The first blow will be inflicted on the people of Afghanistan by blocking nearly ten billion dollars of Afghan currency and sanctions.
It is true that with the withdrawal of foreign troops, several thousand "NGOs" and so-called "non-governmental organizations" were shut down and many indigenous workers were laid off, but it is also clear that Western countries, led by the United States, have been in power for 20 years. In the past, it has not done much tangible work in building economic infrastructure and productive factories.
The Ministry of Industries and Mines of the Taliban interim government in Afghanistan has also mentioned the investment of global companies, especially neighboring ones in lithium mines, as one of the ways to overcome the economic crisis.
Therefore, given the economic problems of Afghanistan, it is appropriate for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation which held an extraordinary meeting in Islamabad on Saturday and Sunday, December 17 and 18, 1400, along with other powers that want security, peace and stability in the region. Take urgent action to solve the acute economic problems of Afghanistan and make the poor people of this country understand the ancient culture and civilization.
