Blames deposed government for current straits
“We’re trying as much as possible to break the problems of the people. We’re working overtime in every department,” said Akhund In a partial hour audio communication

He criticized Afghanistan’s shortage, severance and fiscal meltdown on the US- backed government he helped depose.
“Nation, be watchful. Those left over from the former government in caching are. causing anxiety, misleading the people to mistrust their government,”Akhund said.
The high minister claimed that his government had cracked down on corruption that had tormented what he called”the weakest system in the world.”It was also working on ways to pay thousands of government workers who haven’t been paid for months, he said.
“We ask all the transnational charity organisations to not withhold their aid and to help our exhausted nation. so that the problems of the people could be answered,”Hassan said in his speech.

How serious are Afghanistan’s problems?
United Nations aid agencies say that about half the country is facing starvation as one of the worst dearths in decades and profitable collapse made numerous Afghans hopeless for food. Residers are dealing numerous of their effects and indeed their children just to put a mess on the table,

Akhund called the shortage”a test from God, after people mutinied against him.”
The US and other countries refuse to admit the Taliban as the licit government of Afghanistan, ending aid that amounted to about 75 of the frugality. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund also put an end to transnational loans.
Western countries have pledged to keep up their profitable leaguer of Afghanistan’s new autocrats until the Taliban creates an inclusive government and recognizes women’s rights.
Akhund claims his recently installed Islamic Emirate has members from each over the country and his rejection of women from work and girls from academy”has saved women’s quality.”
