The United States announced Friday that it plans to spend as much as $2,275 per person to help resettle tens of thousands of Afghans who fled their country after the Taliban took over. The move comes days after the United States formally withdrew its troops from the country after 20 years of war. People within Afghanistan are struggling to access money even as banks have reopened. Money-transfer service Western Union announced Thursday it was resuming its services in the country after suspending them when the Taliban took over. The new government is facing its own cash crunch: a senior official at Afghanistan’s central bank asked the US Treasury and the International Monetary Fund this week to release assets the bank holds abroad and aid that the country has been allocated. Both have so far refused.
