The Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites issued the following statement today:
Today on Human Rights Day, the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites calls for the immediate release of the $9.5 billion to the Afghanistan government, now being withheld by the U.S. Federal Reserve, Commerzbank, IMF, World Bank, and others, which is directly contributing to the inability of the nation to function, causing terrible harm to millions of people. This human rights emergency is a moral priority for the world.
We reiterate our call for a multi-nation collaborative approach—called Operation Ibn Sina—to both rush the needed medicines, food, fuel, shelter, logistics, and other necessities to save lives; and also, to start the construction of a full-scale health system, including all needed basic infrastructure to support it (power, water, transportation, medical facilities).
Only in this way, can we respect and provide the means to life—the basic human right—for everyone. This answers the call for the women of Afghanistan, the children, and every soul now sinking in desperation.
Acting in Afghanistan sounds the call for similar action around the world, for all places and people in want and suffering. This means that producers—workers in factories, farms, shops, businesses, mines, schools, shipping, and all productive sectors—can have the opportunity to enjoy the human right to be productive and contribute to humanity.
