Former Afghan president slams unjust U S plan for frozen assets, urges return

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai called on US President Joe Biden to reverse his decision on Afghan bank’s funds and return all the fund to Afghanistan.

Karzai said at a press conference in Kabul on Sunday the fund belongs to no governments, but to the people of Afghanistan and all of it should be returned to Afghanistan’s central bank and should be kept there, ToloNews reported.

Karzai’s remarks follow an Executive Order signed by Biden on Friday which facilitates access to $3.5 billion of the frozen assets for addressing the humanitarian crisis and economic situation in Afghanistan. From the total $7 billion, $3.5 billion will remain in the US and is subject to the ongoing litigation by victims of the 9/11 attacks, according to White House.

Karzai stated the people of Afghanistan are victims of terrorism as are the people of the United States.

“No one punishes the victim,” he added, emphasizing that the money of the people of Afghanistan should not be given to victims of the 9/11 attacks.

Karzai said Osama bin Laden was not brought to Afghanistan by Afghans, but by foreigners. He added Osama had come to Afghanistan from Pakistan and then returned and was killed there, but today the people of Afghanistan pays the price for his actions.
