Afghanistan

The U.S.
House of Representatives has passed brand-new legislation focused on increasing oversight and restricting financial aid to Afghanistan, particularly to avoid the Islamic Emirate federal government from accessing to U.S.
taxpayer-funded assistance.The bill, co-sponsored by Representative Tim Burchett, outlines 3 core objectives: blocking the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) from accessing monetary and material assistance, increasing openness around money help programs, and closely keeping an eye on the Afghanistan Trust Fund (ATF) and the Central Bank of Afghanistan.“& ldquo; This expense has to do with protecting American resources and ensuring they do not fall under the hands of those who undermine international norms,” & rdquo; Burchett said during flooring debate.The House Foreign Affairs Committee applauded the bill as an essential corrective, referencing reports that millions in help may have gone into Afghanistan with insufficient oversight following the U.S.
military withdrawal.Under the brand-new law, the State Department is needed to develop systems to prevent humanitarian aid from being misused and to supply comprehensive, repeating updates to Congress on these measures.The Islamic Emirate turned down the bill, calling it interference in Afghanistan’& rsquo; s internal affairs.
Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said the Ministry of Economy administers humanitarian help with fairness and independence, and implicated the U.S.
of politicizing relief efforts.Abdul Latif Nazari, Deputy Minister of Economy, identified the legislation as part of a more comprehensive pressure campaign.He firmly insisted that Afghanistan’& rsquo; s economy might endure without U.S.
help, indicating ongoing efforts toward financial self-sufficiency.
Even if the help stops, our economy will count on domestic sources, he said.However, independent experts warn that any sharp reduction in international aid could significantly undermine humanitarian operations in a country still facing high poverty, food insecurity, and financial instability.
A number of NGOs and help agencies reliant on U.S.
financing have actually currently downsized operations.The legislation likewise signifies a more assertive policy shift under President Donald Trump, whose administration has prioritized a security-first, results-driven approach to engagement with Afghanistan.With decreasing foreign support and stretched diplomatic relations, Afghanistan’& rsquo; s financial future—-- and its ability to keep basic services—-- now deals with a duration of deep uncertainty.The post US House passes bill to stop financial assistance to Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan initially appeared on TINS News|Afghanistan News.
