KABUL, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Afghan caretaker government wants the international community to differentiate between politics and humanitarian issues and not to politicize the humanitarian assistance.
"We want the countries including the United States not to politicize the humanitarian assistances," a local media outlet Tolonews quoted an official of the Ministry of Economy as saying on Tuesday.
The Afghan official made the remarks in the wake of the suspension of Washington's foreign assistance program for 90 days, saying the decision would undermine the activities of some aid agencies.
Some 50 aid agencies have reportedly stopped activities in Afghanistan following the U.S. decision on foreign aid programs. ■
