Afghanistan is at "tipping point" and needs liquidity, says UN

The Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, said on Monday that Afghanistan is at a "turning point" and asked the international community to inject liquidity into the country to avoid its economic collapse and other evils that would not be limited to its borders.

"I urge the world to take action and inject liquidity into the Afghan economy to avoid its collapse," exhorted the Portuguese diplomat in the face of the extraordinary meeting of the G20, reiterating that humanitarian aid is essential but will not be enough to solve the problems in the nation if its economy collapses.

"This is a turning point. If we do not act and help the Afghans weather this storm, and we do not do it soon, not only they but the whole world will pay a very high price," warned the UN chief. encouraging the use of "tools" such as non-governmental organizations.
