US pledges $308 million in aid to Afghanistan to deal with widespread hunger while refusing to formally recognize the Taliban and withholding $8billion in funds

That would fund the police AND feed the US hungry, eh?
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The White House on Tuesday announced $308 million in aid for Afghanistan

  • At the same time, the UN launched an appeal for $5 billion as hunger grows

  • But with the Taliban in control of the country, delivering aid is complicated

  • Critics said the aid should have come with conditions to improve human rights

  • At the end of last year, the US issued 'broad authorizations' to allow government agencies and aid groups to deal with the Taliban and other blacklisted groups
