Afghan protesters have called for US compensation for the tens of thousands of people killed in 20 years of war
The Hill: Afghans protest US order to free up $3.5B in frozen Afghanistan funds to compensate 9/11 victims
Afghans protested Saturday against an executive order President Biden signed a day earlier intended to free up $3.5 billion in frozen Afghanistan funds to go toward compensation for 9/11 victims. The protesters held up signs accusing the U.S. of stealing Afghanistan’s money, The Associated Press reported.
The demonstration took place in the country's capital, Kabul, outside a mosque.
Biden's executive order is intended to make available $7 billion in assets from Afghanistan's central bank that is being held up in the U.S., with $3.5 billion of that amount potentially going to humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and the other $3.5 billion to compensation for the families of 9/11 victims.

WNU Editor: The Afghan government never had any substantial money. Most came in in the form of foreign aid. This money originally came from the US government/taxpayer to aid the previous Afghan government in its expenses. I am surprised that they are getting at least half of it.

Michael Kugelman, deputy director of the Asia Program at the U.S.-based Wilson Center, called Mr. Biden's order to divert $3.5 billion away from Afghanistan "heartless."
"the Wilson Center, which is a partly government-funded operation under the aegis of the Smithsonian. "
Kugelman is heartless to the 3,000 families of 911 victims. He is a real sociopath.
Typical globalist. Sounds like he himself leeches off American taxpayers.
Lol kugelman.
