G20 Leaders Agree To Distribute Afghanistan Aid Through The Taliban

 

The Guardian: G20 leaders agree to involve Taliban in distributing Afghanistan aid  

Leaders agree in principle that funds can be channelled through UN agencies to avert ‘humanitarian meltdown’ 

G20 leaders and ministers have agreed they will have no option but to involve the Taliban in sending humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, but say that this stops short of political recognition of the Taliban as a government. 

The consensus view came at a video conference on the Afghan crisis at which the EU stepped up its aid to a total of €1bn (£850m), and it was agreed in principle that the IMF and World Bank could provide aid. 

Nearly $9bn of Afghan assets in overseas banks have been frozen by the US.

WNU Editor: This aid is just a drop in the bucket. This aid will also be used by the Taliban to maintain control and compliance to their regime.

Brilliant. Let's help the Taliban keep the population pacified and compliant. No telling, of course, how much and to whom this aid will be distributed. Bloody hell. Why don't we also give them weapons while we're at it? Oh, I forgot, we did give them weapons. More fk'n globalist games. The only upside is this might slightly reduce the number of migrants making their way to Europe. Maybe.

I'm speechless. Let aside all the stupidity of this "gift", but the Taliban will ask us more and more money without the responsibility of using it. They want the power, they get it and now they have to deal with it.

This is not different than allowing Farah Aidid to steal UN food aid to use as a food weapon against tribes not supporting his bid for power.

G20 and UN was gutless then and they are gutless now.


CANA-DUH!

"During the events leading up to the civil war, Aidid's wife Khadiga Gurhan sought asylum in Canada in 1989, taking their four children with her. Local media shortly afterwards alleged that she had returned to Somalia for a five-month stay while still receiving welfare payments."

Europe and the US are just as bad.

"Hussein Mohamed Farrah, son of General Aidid, emigrated to the United States when he was 17 years old. Staying 16 years in the country, he eventually became a naturalized citizen and later a United States Marine who served in Somalia. Two days after his father's death, the Somali National Alliance declared Farrah as the new president"

Yup, still playing softball after all these years.
