Afghanistan Needs Aid, But What About All the Money Afghan Officials Have Stolen?

 

The new government of Afghanistan, run by the Muslim fanatics of the Taliban, has called on international donors to rescue the country from a “dire” situation. A report on this latest call for undeserved support is here: “UN: World Should Send Pledged Aid to Afghans to Avert Economic, Refugee Crisis,” Algemeiner, October 9, 2021:

The world should urgently provide promised aid to Afghanistan, the UN refugee agency said on Saturday, warning that a lack of resources is hampering efforts to avert an economic crisis that could push fresh flows of refugees to its neighbors and beyond.

But why is there a lack of resources, given that the Americans plowed more than a trillion dollars into the Afghan economy over two decades? What happed to all that money?
