| Where does the Taliban get its money and who's funding the militant group in Afghanistan? |
| 2021-08-21 |
| [FOX] The Taliban, on the heels of a steady, monthslong military blitz, retook control of Afghanistan last week, just four months after President Biden announced he would withdraw U.S. troops from the embattled nation and nearly 20 years after the militant group was first ousted. One of the biggest questions the Taliban has faced after sweeping so quickly into power is how it got the cash to seize control and govern the country. Afghanistan, already one of the poorest countries in the world, is heavily dependent on American aid. About 80% of the nation's budget is funded by the U.S. and other international donors, according to John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction. |
