The UN is so corrupt, I'm almost rooting for the Taliban its so bad
I wouldnt believe anything coming out of Afghanistan right now. Taliban are running a propaganda campaign right now aided and abetted by Western media to make it look like this huge machine. It isnt, all you have to do , is dig a little deeper to see the Taliban is not what it seems.
