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.

The all-male protest was well protected by the Taliban fighters and was staged in the middle of Kabul city.

Likely a Taliban staged protest.

Given they have likely blown thru the money and Gold/Silver/etc. they have already stolen out of local Banks.

Man up and address this disgrace that your own stupidity and lying, gross incompetence created.
