   Thousands of Afghans took to the streets in national capital of Kabul Sunday to protest against freeze of the country's assets by the United States.

   The Afghan economy, since the Taliban's takeover in last August, has suffered from the freeze of over 9 billion U.S. dollars in assets belonging to the Afghan central bank by the United States as well as a halt in funds by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

   The protesters said a ban on Afghan assets was an act against the international laws and a violation of international principles.

   A couple of days ago a group of Afghan women also held a similar protest at the same district.
