Taliban Bleeds Afghans Dry
Not literally bled dry yet, but working on it. After we leave they'll re-open the beheading stadia.The militancy in Afghanistan is about more than killing innocent civilians; it's also about the Taliban keeping the country from making social and economic progress. The Taliban has played a villain on the Afghan stage," Zurmati said, adding that their attacks have drained billions of dollars from the nation's coffers. The Afghan government also drains billions of dollars to their private benefit. If ANY slips through to the Afghan people, then somebody messed up. Had even half that money gone to social development rather than to recovery from the Taliban's misdeeds, Afghanistan would have a far more advanced infrastructure than any other country in the region, parliamentarian Mohammad Nazir Ahmadzai said. The challenge, though, lies in devising a way to overcome the Taliban's efforts to hold the country's social and economic development hostage. Central Asia Online will be examining the problem and possible solutions Nuke 'em from orbit - it's the only way to be sure. in the coming weeks. Posted by: Glenmore 2013-10-21 |
