No simple answer to such a complex question
Yes but it has to be conditional based on them spending it on the people. Ideally bypass the Taliban and give it directly to the people
@96KT6HS2yrs2Y
I think that it should only go to people who arent in the Taliban or tied to the Taliban those because if we do nothing people will die
@96JVF5W2yrs2Y
Only in Haseul is chill with it
@966YWRS2yrs2Y
Yes, but with a large number of stipulations they must follow to get the monetary aid.
@95WWV4M2yrs2Y
Only if they show commitment to women’s rights and religious freedom
@feptember2yrs2Y
Yes, only if the taliban agrees to be more diplomatic.
@939DLK33yrs3Y
@9352ZTN3yrs3Y
Yes, and it should directly be utilised by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and not left to the Taliban Government directly. If the Taliban Government does not accept this, then they can do without.
Support other means to provide aid to the Afghani people
Yes, provided this aid can be guaranteed to go to the citizens themselves rather than be siphoned off by elites.
@92ZDPT63yrs3Y
aid should provided to those who cannot escape immoral percicution
Only if The Taliban government correctly funds schools for all genders , infrastructure ect and provide there citizens with quality of life.
@92X7DYX3yrs3Y
Only if the funds are for the benefit of the people
@92WG3JC3yrs3Y
No, but find a way to help the people living there without helping the government.
@92VGK923yrs3Y
Yes, with strict conditions on where it is spent, education etc, and only with provisions on women's and children's rights are met.
No, as this will promote other countries terrorist organisations to overthrow their current government or party is power.
@92SFTTQ3yrs3Y
They should be wiped out
We should stay out of this
@92N6PSW3yrs3Y
Yes, only if they meet United nations human rights
@92LVLNG3yrs3Y
Yes but only where funds can be fully traced and accounted for to prevent corruption
@92JYQ9X3yrs3Y
Only for humanitarian purposes
Only if the money doesn’t change hands with the Taliban
@92CMCM73yrs3Y
Yes, but only if they follow international law and do not spur human rights violations.
@92BMWV73yrs3Y
Only if we can be sure that the funds go to the innocent public for food etc, not to line the pockets of the terrorist government
@929XVV53yrs3Y
Yes, provided they adhere to the democratic rules-based international order that created such institutions.
No, but other nations should not feel discouraged in eocnomically cooperating with the Taliban/Afghanistan regime.
@9294HWC3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it follows sanctions fitting any agreements in the United Nations
@92747G33yrs3Y
Yes, and provide observers to monitor the use of the funds
@9272HBJ3yrs3Y
Yes, if they allow women to study
@926W9LD3yrs3Y
Not until they stop violating human rights
@925DXGTConservatives3yrs3Y
No, and Australia shouldn't be involved in either organisation.
@8ZZMGMG3yrs3Y
yes, after fair and open democatic elections and after proving no human rights violations
There has to be certain targets that the Taliban government must achieve to demonstrate that they will deliver on funding effectively. Once this is demonstrated they should be assisted.
@8ZNMKB63yrs3Y
We should stay out of it.
Yes, but The World Bank and International Monetary fund should regularly check up, and run checks to prevent corruption and wrong spending.
Yes, upon the condition that they reverse human rights violations and increase women’s rights
they should provide aid directly to the innocent Afghanistan people who are in need, whilst ideally bypassing the Taliban
@8Z28WVBOne Nation3yrs3Y
No as it would only go to thr Taliban
@8YWMRGYIndependent3yrs3Y
No, but they should deploy Food Aid to starving Afghans
@8YWHZZZ3yrs3Y
No, they’re a terrorism organisation that just so happens to now control the country. We should not support the Taliban nor it’s government
@93456WC3yrs3Y
No, unless the Afghan government have requested assistance.
@92LTWLD3yrs3Y
This question confuses me.
@92H2WL43yrs3Y
Only if they instate back female right
@92D5WZG3yrs3Y
Yes, so long as the money is confirmed to only go to those poor people who need it for food and medical care.
@92CM67W3yrs3Y
What they choose to do is their business
