Reports in Kabul suggest the demand is imminent – and that the Taliban is confident the UK will cave in.
Col Richard Kemp, who led British troops during the 20-year Afghanistan conflict condemns outrageous demand by Taliban regime responsible for torture and murder.
Noor Mohammad Mutawakel, of the acting Ministry of Information and Culture, said: “Britain is ready to pay us war reparations, and we welcome that. Other countries involved in the war must also be prepared to pay.”
One Whitehall source said: “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.”
Afghanistan’s economy is on the brink. Its GDP is set to shrink 10% this year and 5% in 2022-23.
Many foreign powers are freezing assets held overseas – with the US alone holding £7billion. But the demand for reparations is controversial after the Taliban killed so many Allies.
