Hundreds of teachers in the western province of Herat gathered and called on the Taliban to pay their salaries, as they have not been paid for over four months, local media reported on Thursday.The teachers demanded that the Islamic Emirate facilitate their payments, saying that they have been grappling with severe economic challenges, Tolo News reported."The teachers didn't have an adequate salary to save money for themselves for such days. They were just paid enough to meet their normal daily expenses," said Latifa Alizai, a teacher.According to the publication, some of the teachers voiced concerns that hunger was threatening their families as they are incapable of providing food and medical care for their children."Many teachers don't even have money to pay their power bills and their houses lack power," said Nasir Ahmad Hakimi, a school teacher."My daughter has been sick now for a month and I can't take her to the doctor," said Saadat Atif, a teacher.Based on initial findings, at least 18,000 teachers--including 10,000 women--have not received their salaries for the past four months, Tolo News reported."All teachers and civilian employees have not been paid for the past four months," said Mohammad Sabir Mashal, head of the teacher's association."They earn money for living via selling home appliances and now they don't have anything to sell," he said.The head of the provincial education, Shuhabuddin Saqib, said that one month's salary would be paid to the teachers in the coming days, Tolo News reported.The officials said that dozens of teachers have recently left the country because of various challenges.Last week, hundreds of doctors including females from Samangan and Nuristan provinces gathered at the gate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in Kabul and asked the World Bank to pay their pending salaries for the past 14 months.The protestors complained that not only their salaries haven't been paid but the clinics in their respective provinces are confronting a dire shortage of medicine.Since the Taliban's takeover of the country, banks have been closed leaving millions of people out of cash. Employers have not paid their staff and even those who have money in their accounts cannot withdraw it.Afghanistan's situation is deteriorating as the Taliban took control of the country on August 15 after the fall of the government.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
