Taliban took Afghanistan but face cash squeeze
By JOSH BOAK
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Taliban face a frontal challenge in cementing control of Afghanistan: Money.
Despite their dominant military blitz over the past week, the Taliban lack access to billions of dollars from their central bank and the International Monetary Fund that would keep the country running during a turbulent shakeup. Those funds are largely controlled by the U.S. and international institutions, a possible leverage point as tense evacuations proceed from the airport in the capital of Kabul. Tens of thousands of people remain to be evacuated ahead of the United States’ Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw its troops from the country.
But the Taliban also do not currently have institutional structures to receive the money — a sign of the challenges it might confront as it tries to govern an economy that has urbanized and tripled in size since they were last in power two decades ago. The shortfall could lead to an economic crisis that would only fuel a deeper humanitarian one for the roughly 36 million Afghans expected to stay in the country.
“If they don’t have jobs, they don’t get fed,” said Anthony Cordesman, who advised the U.S. government on Afghan strategy and works at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “The Taliban has to find an answer.”
The stranded funds are one of the few potential sources of pressure that the U.S. government has over the Taliban. But Cordesman added, “To have a pressure point, you have to be willing to negotiate in ways the Taliban can accept.”
As of now, the Taliban government cannot access almost all of the Afghanistan central bank’s $9 billion in reserves, most of which is held by the New York Federal Reserve. Afghanistan was also slated to access about $450 million on Aug. 23 from the International Monetary Fund, which has effectively blocked the release because of a “lack of clarity” regarding the recognition of a new Afghan government.
While the money would make it easier for the Taliban to govern, government officials have indicated that it’s unclear who would be the points of contact within Afghanistan on financial issues. President Joe Biden conceded that he doesn’t know whether the Taliban want to be part of the broader global economy — which means it might be comfortable going without any funds.
“I think they’re going through sort of an existential crisis about do they want to be recognized by the international community as being a legitimate government,” Biden told ABC News Wednesday. “I’m not sure they do.”
Even if the Taliban could get money from the IMF, Douglas Rediker, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, said the process “would take, I think, months at the earliest, if at all.” But he also anticipates that the United States would find a way to block the release of any money through the IMF system.
“The U.S. still retains a lot of political heft in the global, political and economic systems to twist some arms,” Rediker said. “The Taliban are not going to be popular.”
When the Taliban last ran Afghanistan two decades ago, the average Afghan survived on less than a dollar a day. Per capita gross domestic product has increased nearly three-fold during the war, according to the World Bank. Afghanistan gained mobile phones, Coca-Cola and Airbnb listings — all of which need access to global economic institutions. The war effort also left the country highly dependent on trade with imports of $8 billion annually, almost 10 times more than what was being exported.
The extent of the problem could be seen at the shuttered Afghan money exchange market. Currency trading stopped Sunday when the Taliban took control of Kabul. Without the ability to exchange or the backing of dollars flowing into the country, the value of the Afghan currency could collapse, inflation could accelerate and the mix of violence and chaos could be prolonged.
Aminullah Amin, a currency changer, said Friday there are concerns about looters and the structure of the new government. That sense of insecurity felt by Afghans would flow through the economy like a virus.
“We have not decided to reopen the markets yet.” said Amin, who witnessed the looting of a district police headquarters in northern Kabul after the seizure of the capital by the Taliban.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on Thursday reaffirmed that the group wants good relations with other countries and will not allow Afghanistan to be a base for attacks. But he said the Taliban would not tolerate any threat to “our principles and our independence.”
Laurel Miller, director of the Asia program at the Crisis Group, an international think tank, said Afghanistan remains “a very poor country suffering a complex set of humanitarian issues and challenges.”
The Taliban still have access to revenue streams that sustained the insurgency, but that won’t be enough for a centralized government that can assert fuller control on the country. The movement has to balance its image globally with maintaining support among their own rank-and-file, the ultraconservative Muslim fighters who brought them to power.
“There are reasons to think that when push comes to shove the internal dimensions of this are going to be prioritized over the external dimensions,” Miller said.
The Taliban could have more success with other nations eager to project influence in the region. China wants stability in Afghanistan and also maintains close relations with neighboring Pakistan, which itself has long worked to shape events there. A 2010 U.S.
government report estimated that Afghanistan contained about $1 trillion worth of metals and minerals, including lithium and rare earths that are valuable in an increasingly computerized world.
“I think a real question mark in the financial picture is what is China going to do,” Miller said.

Wamepigana miaka 20 waje washindwe jambo dogo hilo, unajua gharama ya vita kwa miaka 20 na wakashinda?
Mbona USA hajaandika kwenye media Taliban wamenishinda?,
Na hakuna serikali ya kupewa hizo pesa kwa sasa, kumeingia machinjachinja tu, ikibidi hata risasi na mabomu yakiisha wasiruhusiwe hata kununua tenaHawana pesa ya kuendesha nchi ni kweli, na sasa UN, WHO, wana haha kweli kuona watawasaidiaje, kwani hali ni mbaya mno karibia 97℅wanaenda kukumbwa na baa la njaa kama misaada haitapelekwa!!pesa za serikali zote zilizokuwa nje zimezuiliwa!!!
Cheni upumbavu mtu anaemhofu Mungu hawezi pigania madaraka ya nchi wenye uchu wa mali za Dunia ndo waharibifu.Mtu anavaa mabomu anaenda kujilipua kwenye uwanja wa ndege kuwakomoa wamerekani.
Hajui anaharibu miundombinu na baadae atajenga kwa gharama kubwa. Hawa watu waabudu mwezi na nyota inatakiwa wapelekwe shule hata kwa lazima.
Libya imekuwa magofu, sudani imekuwa nchi mbili, somalia hivyo hivyo wanajilipua ovyo tu.
Kuna member humu alisema
'Dunia imekuwa salama kwa uwepo wa wakristo'
Chukulia waislam wangekuwa wengi km wakristo unafikiri kungekuwaje? Kila siku watu wangekuwa wanauawa makanisa yangechomwa moto. Kila siku kwenye mahakama ya kadhi watu wengi sana wangekuwa wanahukumiwa kunyongwa.
Fikiria wakristo nao wangekuwa wanamtetea Yesu wao km waislamu? Kila siku kungekuwa kuna mauaji maana misikiti ingechomwa lkn kwa kile Vita vyao vya kiroho huwezi kusikia.
Hampendi kuambiwa ukweli,kama unaumia chomoaNawe unaamini propaganda za westerns!!!! Unalizalilisha sana ilo jina ABDALLAH,,,ni heri ujiite joseph or leonard
uongo upi? kwamba mujahidina hawajilipui, hawachinji watu kwa kumpigania Allah ??Cheni upumbavu mtu anaemhofu Mungu hawezi pigania madaraka ya nchi wenye uchu wa mali za Dunia ndo waharibifu.
Mumeweka udini mbele sana nyinyi watu wakiwajibu mnalukaluka dunia nzima ijue
American propaganda hiyo, wakiwa nazo wasiwe nazo inawahusu nini? Wao wameshaondoka wasubiri wenzao watakaofaidika watatoa misaada.Kwani kuna siku walisema wanae hela?
Mbwembwe zipi tena ?
Kumbe fedha wanazo lakini kuna wajamaa fulani wamezizuia!!!!!Hawana pesa ya kuendesha nchi ni kweli, na sasa UN, WHO, wana haha kweli kuona watawasaidiaje, kwani hali ni mbaya mno karibia 97℅wanaenda kukumbwa na baa la njaa kama misaada haitapelekwa!!pesa za serikali zote zilizokuwa nje zimezuiliwa!!!
Usiseme ndugu za Muhamad, we Africa kilichotokea Rwanda utasemaje?...Shida ya hao watu uwezo wao wa kufikiri ni mdogo sana.
Mtu anavaa mabomu anaenda kujilipua kwenye uwanja wa ndege. Unajua kujenga uwanja wa ndege ni gharama sana?
Watu wanaondoka wanapanda denge lkn bado unaenda kujilipua tu. Ili iweje sasa?
Unafikiri ukilipua shule ambayo ipo nchi kwako kuna wamerekani 5 wamejificha humo. Unafikiri unawakomoa wao?
Wazungu miji yao wanaijenga ili iwe km Paradise (Angalia New york city) lkn ndugu zao na Muhamad miji yao wanaifanya kuwa magofu. Angalia Libya
Kulikuwa kuna haja gani Ghadafi kupigana?
Hao ndugu eti kwa mawazo yao hapa wanapita tu na kwamba kuna pepo ambayo watakuta mito ya pombe, asali, maziwa na mademu 72 wakaliii! na kwamba eti huko ndio wataishi milele na sijui wanawake wao nao watapata ma six pack 72? Mambo mengine ya hii dini yameandikwa kimwili zaidi kuliko uhalisia, kwanza wanapoiharibu hii dunia tuliomo, wanauhakika gani kwamba hapa sio peponi? huenda tulishaga kufa zamani na hapa sasa ndio peponi unapaharibu kwa kungojea nchi ya kusadikika? kama hawataki mambo ya kimagharibi sasa wanaendesha vifaru, na kutumia ak 47 na mabomu ya nini? na kwa nini kama kweli wanafuata sunna za Mtume, yeye alipanda farasi na punda, vitani alienda na mapanga na mikuki na kombeo, iweje wao wapande magari, ndege, vifaru, watumie bunduki!! Hebu waache watu waishi kistaarabu wawe na choice zao za kiimani na wasiwakatishie uhai watu kwa kisingizio cha kumpigania Allah, yeye mwenyewe ana uwezo mkubwa wa Kujipigania.Shida ya hao watu uwezo wao wa kufikiri ni mdogo sana.
Mtu anavaa mabomu anaenda kujilipua kwenye uwanja wa ndege. Unajua kujenga uwanja wa ndege ni gharama sana?

Sasa wewe unaongelea mambo ya 1800s yalishatokea Sisi hatuwezi kuyabadilisha Na inawezekana wahusika wanajuta Na kujiona walikuwa wajingaUsiseme ndugu za Muhamad, we Africa kilichotokea Rwanda utasemaje?...
Unafahamu Native American genocide au ulikwisha soma, by death toll hio ndio inaongoza duniani mpaka leo, 1400's-1920's... watu 100 million waliuawa...
ilitokea kwa hao unawaita wenye akili , British, Canada na British Empre...
Mpaka uue ni kama umezuiwa kumuabudu Mola wako.sasa hao wanao jiita hivyo wamefanyiwa uwaduigani?uongo upi? kwamba mujahidina hawajilipui, hawachinji watu kwa kumpigania Allah ??
Hao Crusaders walikuwa wanafata mfano wa mtume wao yupi?Ndiyo wale Crusaders tunaowasoma kwenye historia? Si ndiyo walikuwa wanapita miji mingi ya Europe mpaka Uarabuni kuua na kuteketeza watu?
Lakini kwa karibuni tu hata akina Hitler, Mussolini na Stalin sijui walitumwa na mtume gani kuua watu ili wasimike dola zao.
