The Hasanistani government has revealed that it has given financial support to trusted charities delivering support to Afghan citizens, following the recent escalation of clashes between Afghan government forces and the Taliban movement. The clashes began following a Taliban offensive ahead of the upcoming American and NATO withdrawal by September, which seems to be succeeding on the battlefield and their is talk of them achieving a decisive victory in the war. Many civilians have been caught up in this escalation and a new migration wave seems highly likely. According to the Hasanistani government, this aid was given to support in the best way it can to soften the humanitarian disaster but should not be considered as giving support to either side. The total amount and which NGO it was given to will remain undisclosed.
President Hasan Çakar has re-iterated that Hasanistan is neutral in the conflict between the Taliban and the Afghan government in accordance with its general neutrality policy, noting that the only openly active group that it opposes is Daesh who poses a threat to its own citizens, and has urged both sides to cease fighting and negotiate a political settlement in the interests of regional stability and the safety of civilians. He has also called on the Taliban to stick with the terms of their agreement with America in terms of not supporting terrorist group al-Qaeda and not seeking to destabilise Central Asia and treat ethnic minorities with respect.
