government struggles to contain a deepening economic crisis.

The well-organized demonstration, featuring banners with messages printed in English, came as Taliban officials stepped up demands for more than $9 billion in foreign reserves held abroad to be handed over.

"We want them to unfreeze this money as it’s only Afghanistan’s money," said Nooruddin Jalali, a member of the Afghan Moslem youth association NAJM, who attended the protest.
Khaama Press points out:
The all-male protest was well protected by the Taliban fighters and was staged in the middle of Kabul city.

Abdul Wahed Hemat, head of the society of Muslim youth, said: “If you are a supporter of human rights, you should keep helping Afghanistan.”
