Can Taliban run the government without foreign aid?

Taliban came to know the ground reality after taking control of Afghanistan. They took over Afghanistan within 11 days and stunned the world. Many of the civilians left the nation including former President Ashraf Ghani in the wake of Taliban rout. 

The insurgent turned rulers will face a new challenge of running the nation. As per UNSC report, Taliban’s annual revenues ranged between $300 million to $1.5 billion per annum and mainly they are getting revenue from opium trade, illegal mining and extortion & taxes. The Afghan country's budget is five times bigger than the Taliban's economy. Now, they are trying to eradicate the bad image for foreign funds.

First challenge they would likely face is liquid cash to run the economy. Even though the terrorist group is ultra-rich, they need more money to run the economy in Afghanistan. This is the main concern for the Taliban. Where will these funds come from? 47% of the Afghan population is below poverty. 43% of Afghan GDP is made up of foreign aid. 75% of the Afghan government’s budget came from foreign aid mainly from the U.S. The United States of America has frozen $9.5 billion of Afghan reserve funds that made them keep cash away from Taliban. Several western nations would follow America in this regard. Germany has suspended the proposed development aid of $500 million after the Taliban took charge.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is denying Taliban access to Afghan reserves which amounted to $440 million. To impress the West, the Taliban is now talking about human rights and freedom. It seems that Western nations, International Financial agencies might impose strict restrictions for the resumption of funding. Restrictions include freedoms especially for women. Most of the Taliban have known how to operate weapons but complete zero knowledge on administration. Taliban desperately need some well-educated people to get funds from foreign nations with their skills. More than 4 million people were displaced during the Afghan war. Most people who have qualified for the job were left the nation due to fear of hardcore Islamic governance.
