THE Taliban government is to insist the UK and other nations hand over billions as reparations for the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
Reports in Kabul suggest the demand is imminent - and that the Taliban is confident the UK will cave in.
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.
