Cigarette: US has provided more than $20 B to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan in the past three years.
The fund was used for humanitarian aid, refugee resettlement and Afghan foreign exchange refunds, according to Sigar.
The aid was spent from October 2021 to the end of June 2024 through US international cooperation agencies and UN agencies, the report said.
The US Special Inspector General on Tuesday expressed concern that Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is becoming a safe haven for terrorists.
In part, Sigar wrote in its report that the activities of terrorist groups in Afghanistan continue; The Taliban's failure to comply with its commitments to the Doha agreement has raised concerns among the United States and the United Nations that Afghanistan is once again becoming a safe haven for terrorists.
While the Taliban have made progress in the fight against ISIS in Khorasan, they remain tolerant of other groups such as al-Qaeda and the Pakistani Taliban.
The report said that the armed forces opposed to the Taliban have increased their attacks against the Taliban.
According to the report, Taliban opposition forces claimed responsibility for 68 attacks in the past three months, compared to 43 in the previous three months.
The Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction also said that al-Qaeda leader Saif al-Adal had urged foreign fighters to migrate to Afghanistan.
The United States has provided about $21 billion in aid to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan in the past three years, according to the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.
