Taliban Interview, Doha, Afghan Reserves

NPR’s Fatima Tannis interviewed a Taliban spokesperson in Doha regarding the $10 billion in Afghan reserves currently frozen by the United States. The Taliban described the freeze as an "economic siege" that is causing mass starvation as winter approaches. The report focused heavily on the female journalists' decision not to cover their hair, which critics argue distracted from the humanitarian crisis.
