However, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres claimed a humanitarian crisis would be far worse and only benefit terrorists in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of Afghanistan need a lifeline. After decades of war, suffering and insecurity, they face perhaps their most perilous hour,\u201d he stated. \u201cNow is the time for the international community to stand with them and let us be clear, this conference is not simply about what we will give to the people of Afghanistan. It is about what we owe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Secretary of State Antony Blinken told lawmakers the U.S. would maintain sanctions against the Taliban even amid growing concern the money would fall into the hands of the terrorists.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/bidens-feed-cut-as-he-appears-to-go-off-script\/\">Biden\u2019s Feed Cut As He Appears To Go Off Script<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
