What Do We Have To Know About The Frozen Afghan Funds?
from The Exploding Head · host Justina Poskeviciute
What right does one country have to freeze the assets of another one? What about when the country sanctioned is undergoing a major crisis? These are the questions we have to ask about what the U.S. has been doing to Afghanistan which is in its biggest crisis in 20 years. On top of that, the U.S. has been holding $7 billion of its assets in its banks. How is that being done, what are aid agencies saying about it, and what is a strange (somewhere between absurd and criminal) move that Presiden Biden make recently regarding these funds? It's all in my episode. Please find more resources (articles, a video, and a petition to sign!) here: https://wp.me/pc6sQr-wa
