Japan Gifts $100 Million+ in Aid to Afghanistan, Attempting to Sidestep Taliban

The Taliban takeover resulted in international banking institutions freezing Afghan government assets, leaving the Taliban poorly funded. The Taliban has demanded those funds on the grounds that it is the true government of Afghanistan and that it would use the money for humanitarian purposes but has provided no grounds to believe that it would not use that funding for terrorist activities or repression of the Afghan people.

“At the moment, the Japanese Embassy in Kabul has begun its limited activity and is doing the minimum necessary work. For security reasons, I refrain from mentioning the details,” he noted at the time. “We truly hope these projects will help bring many smiles of [sic] Afghan people!” the embassy announced on Twitter.

Good luck with that!

LOL. Not a chance in hades.

Implemented by UN agencies? What could possibly go wrong?

Thank you Japan. Don't let ISIS get it!!

Japanese trusts, probably never actually properly capitalized or replenished, were used as a source of slush funds by the implementing agencies on a deficit basis.

Lol, right

Somebody is going to do some mining.

IMO, giving money to UN agents is like trusting the school budget, in cash, to the kid in 'A Christmas Story' to keep it from the bullies.

Foolish Japan. I guess the UN hasn't bled quite everyone dry yet. Hey Japan, be sure and glue a man with a gun to every Yen.

Lol, only thing that comes to mind

I thought this was cool until I saw the UN was involved. Might as well have just sent the Taliban a check.

Russia and Afghanistan have already signed some pretty big contracts thers no starving them out

UN is corrupt. Of course this is going to the taliban. No brainer

Better off just using the money to start a bonfire.

Lots of luck side stepping the Taliban.

And they have not outlined how that will happen

It would not only be immoral, it would be down right stupid to give the Taliban a single cent. Yet I'm sure there's still plenty of our tax money landing in their coffers. 'Someone charitable' will of course be getting a fat commission.

Good luck with that; what the UN doesn’t siphon off, the taliban Will!!

Japan stepping up. Arigatou gozaimashita❤️

The UN sidesteping the Taliban, Ha! That ain't happening. The taliban will find the money and keep it for themselves to buy more weapons. As long Islamic extremism is a thing (which is forever unfortunately) afghanistan will be a lost cause. Whack one mole, 3 more pop up.

So the taliban will get 106.7 million foe sure

You lost me at UN... They're worthless

Why? How does it benifit Japan?

That wont go far...

The UN…….. ha. They’ve been had
