The Taliban are set to demand the UK and other nations pay billions in reparations to Afghanistan for the 20-year war for after they took over the country.
The Islamist government will urge Britain to make the payments imminently, reports suggest, and the Taliban believe the UK will cave to their demands.
Veterans who fought in Afghanistan have slammed any request for reparations by the Taliban, who have executed dissidents, tortured prisoners and forced women into hiding since seizing power, as an 'outrage'.
Noor Mohommad Mutawakel, from the Taliban's Ministry of Information and Culture, told The Mirror: 'Britain is ready to pay us war reparations, and we welcome that. Other countries involved in the war must also be prepared to pay.'
While Mutawakel appeared confident the UK will pay reparations, a Whitehall source case doubt on whether it will happen.
The source told the newspaper: 'We don't know what they're going to ask for yet but it could be in the billions across everyone involved. Whether we pay it or not is a different matter.'
Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan on August 15, the country - already struggling with drought and severe poverty from decades of war - has seen its economy all but collapse.
Most of the nation's international assistance has been cut off, though there are exceptions for humanitarian aid. Billions of dollars in central bank assets held abroad have also been frozen, which has put pressure on the banking system.
But the Taliban's demand for reparations is controversial given that the Islamist group have killed UK and allied soldiers.

“....In August, Stop the War Coalition, a campaign group which was chaired for more than a decade by the former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, urged the British government to pay reparations to the Taliban in order to ‘advance the rights of the Afghan people’.
The campaign group called for the UK to ‘take the lead in offering a refuge programme and reparations’ following the Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan.
The organisation also said the disaster now unfolding in Afghanistan was the responsibility of the US, British and other NATO governments who ‘plunged into a war that was always doomed to fail’. ...”
Do we have any “Stop the War Coalition” in the US?? I am sure there will be plenty of support by the lefties in the Democratic Party.
Give us back the 83 billion in military hardware taliBiden gave you first,
then we might think about it, or not.
Till then,,,, esad.
Damn filthy boy and goat humping murderous terrorists.
Spit.

How much will these Biden ding-bats give away?? Taliban has plenty of hostages to bargain with.
Biden and the dems will not agree to reparations for the Taliban. They and only they decide who gets what.
Q. Will the Taliban get the reparations they demand?
A. They sure will. The money will just come in the form of “humanitarian aid” and “relief efforts”.
The Taliban will be sending a bill to Joe. He will pay just as soon as he pays Iran the 10 billion they want to enter JPOA talks. Perhaps,they will take some of Hunter’s art as recompense
Excellent! This will ensure worldwide stability and Progressive Liberal Democrat Utopia!
Yup. Follow the good ole BLM playbook.
Chuckle
As long as they deliver a big chunk to Hunter Biden and the “Big Man”.
Let them eat shi’ite and die!
FTHEM AND THEIR NADS
Billions for what? Destroying buildings and buses? They already got $650 billion in high tech weapons.
Hey, they are on a roll. I wouldn’t stop demanding things either. Biden said they were businesslike and professional. They’re a Middle Eastern MS-13 and just getting started.
