FOX News: US Afghanistan aid going directly to Taliban, nonprofits warn
Economy also makes efforts by the nonprofits to help keep Afghans safe harder
The hundreds of millions of dollars that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has pledged to send to Afghanistan will be going into the wrong hands, nonprofit rescue groups warn.
The funds, over $308 million in all, "are not going to go in the hands of the average Afghan, it is going to go in the hand of the Taliban for food supply," Sean Kilbrane, the programs manager for Save Our Allies, told Fox News.
Save Our Allies has worked to rescue American citizens, permanent residents, special immigrant visa (SIV) holders and other special populations from Afghanistan while helping them navigate the cultural, legal and societal challenges of being refugees.
Kilbrane said they "see on a daily basis, Taliban soldiers at checkpoints… asking for food, they don’t have food, they aren’t getting paid."

WNU Editor: The Taliban are broke, and the Afghanistan economy has collapsed. The only money that the Taliban can get their hands on is this "aid assistance". So it should surprise no one that the Taliban want to now control/coordinate where this aid goes (see below):

Ya think? How about making the “aid” conditional on the return of our people, aircraft, vehicles, guns and ammunition?
Otherwise it’s just ransom.

"So it should surprise no one that the Taliban want to now control/coordinate where this aid goes."
It's NOT a surprise. the US gov knows EXACTLY where the money and supplies are going. Just as they knew BEFORE any money or aid was sent where it would go and who would ultimately benefit. But it's the nearest they can get, for now, to maintaining their globalist agenda viz-a-viz Afghanistan. Nor do they give fuck all what we think about it, especially since they also know that the leftstream corporate/social media will run interference for them. For that matter, neither do the leftstream corporate/social media give fuck all who knows that they themselves are just globablist lap dogs. That's the difference these days. They used to at least pretend to be somewhat neutral. But in the post-Trump world there's no longer a need for such pretense.
