| Of the nearly $3 billion in
humanitarian aid that the United States has given Afghanistan since the
2021 military withdraw at least $11 million—and likely a lot more—has
gone to the Taliban, according to a new federal audit that
reveals the U.S. “has continued to be the largest international donor
supporting the Afghan people since the former Afghan government collapsed
and the Taliban returned to power in August 2021.” The terrorist group
has taken the millions in humanitarian and development assistance intended
to help the people of Afghanistan in the form of taxes, fees, import
duties, permit charges, licenses, or public utility services. The Taliban
has probably received a much bigger chunk of the humanitarian assistance
because the parties involved in the cash giveaway, including federal
agencies, the famously corrupt United Nations and handpicked nonprofits, do
not bother keeping track. |
