Chaos in front of the banks in Kabul . Anger and endless queues

There is no doubt that the economic challenge is one of the most important issues facing the Taliban movement in the near future, which could pose a serious challenge to the movement.

When the banks opened in Kabul yesterday, for the first time since the Taliban took power in the capital, customers queued since dawn to withdraw cash.

But many of them confirmed, according to the Wall Street Journal, that they were told they could only withdraw $ 200 a week.

In addition, a branch manager of a private bank in the capital also revealed that the central bank has ordered Afghan banks to limit ATM withdrawals outside the country to $ 150 per day.

Interestingly, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund suspended their operations in the country after the Taliban replaced the Afghan government on August 15, taking control of the capital.

International partners, led by the United States, covered about 75% of the previous government’s expenses, but now things have changed and turned upside down, leading the Taliban to now expect more international pressure.

Since taking power, the movement, which also conquered the country in the 1990s, has tried to persuade technocrats and former government-related officials to stay in loads, to no avail.
