US allows money transfer to Afghanistan
[KhaamaPress] US Department of Treasury announced that they have made a regulation based on which people will be allowed to transfer money to Afghanistan. The new regulation was announced on Saturday, December 11 and it will lift sanctions on all those who are involved in the transfer.
The money will reportedly solve the problem to a certain extent but the spokesperson of the department has said that Afghanistan’s ongoing situation is not because of US sanctions on the Taliban

and added that the new regulation will not solve the problem either.
As per the regulations, the money transfer will too be conducted if the process includes the names of members of the Haqqani network
...a branch of the Afghan Taliban, based in Pakistain. The network is a family business founded by the later Jalaluddin Haqqani...-who are banned- but the purpose of the money should not be traded but rather personal.
MoneyGram and Western Union are the only means of money transfer to Afghanistan that resumed their operations in September.
