Humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan puts India, China, Russia in alarming position

 Neighboring countries of Afghanistan--India, China, and Russia-- have expressed their concerns about the humanitarian crisis with which Afghanistan is reeling. Foreign ministers of all three countries have serious issues regarding the situation of drug trafficking spreading inside their borders. 

Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and completely disrupted the order of the entire nation with financial matters being the most affected. The nation has gone into a state of crisis where billions of dollars of foreign assistance have been compromised after the takeover as the West-backed government is no longer there to handle its affairs. 

India's S Jaishankar, Russia's Sergey Lavrov, and China's Wang Yi issued a joint statement in the matter after a virtual discussion. 

The statement read, “Expressing concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, the Ministers called for immediate and unhindered humanitarian assistance to be provided to Afghanistan.”

The three nations showed solidarity in combating the drug crisis in the neighboring countries while standing together to call out the Taliban for its negligence to the United Nations resolutions. They stressed that the Taliban must pay attention and respect to the results of the UN resolutions on Afghanistan and the central role of the U.N. in the country. 

The statement also noted that there has been a rise in illicit trafficking in opiates and methamphetamine from Afghanistan and beyond, which is a serious threat to regional security and also in a way promotes terrorism in the region as the money collected is used to fund the terrorist organizations.
