on Monday that the Biden administration has overseen $10.9 million in payments to the Taliban junta in Afghanistan since President Joe Biden’sthe bulk of this U.S. taxpayer funding for the Taliban regime came from “taxes” collected by the terrorists. About half a million dollars of the payments were for “payments for utilities, fees, and customs duties.”
One of the U.N.’s “implementing partners” told SIGAR investigators that it paid taxes to the Taliban but kept no records of the transactions. Ironically, the very fact that the United States does not recognize the legitimacy of the Taliban regime was cited as a reason for not keeping records of taxes and fees paid because the junta in Kabul does not meet the technical definition of a “host government.
SIGAR noted that U.N. officials have warned their subcontractors that the Taliban will punish them for failing to pay taxes and fees, with actions ranging from frozen bank accounts and closed offices to “attempts to divert aid or infiltrate NGOs and interfere with activities.”
