In a display of government incompetence, the State Department has once again put American taxpayers at risk by funneling hundreds of millions of dollars in development aid to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

A recent report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reveals that at least $239 million has been poured into the coffers of terrorist groups since the chaotic military withdrawal last year.

The SIGAR report uncovers a lack of oversight within the State Department, particularly by the Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) and International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) divisions.

Despite requirements to vet grant recipients to prevent funds from benefiting terrorists, the agency distributed grants without proper scrutiny in at least 29 cases.

As a result, the report states, “there is an increased risk that terrorist and terrorist-affiliated individuals and entities may have illegally benefited from State spending in Afghanistan.”

The investigation found issues with the awarding of grants, such as DRL’s failure to screen recipients of multi-million dollar awards and INL’s lack of documentation.

The State Department has not maintained proper records, conveniently citing “employee turnover and the dissolution of the Afghanistan-Pakistan office” as reasons.

This blatant disregard for transparency and accountability is unacceptable, especially in light of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.

Furthermore, on top of embezzling humanitarian aid through fake NGOs, the Taliban has amassed wealth through taxes, permit fees, and import duties imposed on the Afghan people.

This ill-gotten money has also flowed through agencies like the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), both of which have received billions in funding from American taxpayers.
