Kabul: Abdul Latif Nazari, the Deputy Minister of Economy for Afghanistan, appointed by the Taliban, has revealed that approximately 216 aid organisations have ceased their operations in Afghanistan over the past year due to their non-compliance with the Taliban’s directives. These closures have transpired as a consequence of these organisations failing to adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Taliban.
According to media reports, Nazari clarified that the revocation of licences from these organisations is not intended to be permanent. He explained, “The closure of these organisations will not be a permanent arrangement. Once they fulfil our criteria and adhere to our regulations, the Ministry of Economy under the Taliban will consider reinstating licences for these organisations through a commission.”
Economists, in contrast, have highlighted the valuable contributions made by these organisations to the nation and its government. Farhad Ibrar, an economist, stressed the importance of these organisations operating within Afghanistan, asserting that their activities are beneficial when they align with the national interests of the Afghan people. He stated, “When these organisations act in ways that are not contrary to the welfare of the Afghan population, their continued presence and actions will ultimately serve the interests of the Afghan people.”
Citizens of Afghanistan have expressed their belief in the significance of aid organisations to address the needs of individuals requiring assistance in the country. The presence of such organisations is viewed as essential by Afghan citizens, who emphasise their role in aiding those in need.
