US watchdog says Taliban benefiting from international aid through 'fraudulent' NGOs_我的网站

A |     KABUL, Afghanistan -- The watchdog for U.S. assistance to Afghanistan has warned that the Taliban are benefiting from international aid through the establishment of fraudulent nongovernmental organizations.The Taliban have exerted greater control over national and international NGOs since seizing power in August 2021. They have barred Afghan women from NGO work and sought to push out foreign organizations from the education sector.A report from the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, said it found that the Taliban benefit from American-funded education programming through the generation of tax revenues and from more “nefarious” methods like the establishment of fraudulent NGOs and extorting and infiltrating existing NGOs to obtain or direct international donor aid. In May, a SIGAR report highlighted the Taliban’s interference with NGO work in Afghanistan. The Ministry of Economy, which supervises the sector, rejected the claims. Ministry spokesman Abdul Rahman Habib, responding to the latest SIGAR report on Monday, said there was no evidence of interference.According to the report, published this month, the U.S. has spent around $185 million on education in Afghanistan since August 2021.An NGO official told SIGAR that the Taliban target and extort Afghans who receive monetary support from American-funded education programs under the guise of taxation. In another example, NGO officials told the watchdog that the Taliban coerced NGOs into hiring supporters or purchasing goods from Taliban-owned companies.Taliban policies and priorities have reduced the overall quality of education, with a drop in the number of teachers and a decrease in teacher quality, as unqualified community members or Taliban officials replace staff, SIGAR said."We found that the Taliban have been unable to fully fund public school teacher salaries and building maintenance costs, leading to further teacher shortages and the deterioration of school buildings."The redirection of international donor aid to community-based education schools, along with financial and infrastructure challenges facing the Taliban, raised serious questions about how the Taliban could sustain the education sector and if they had any intention of doing so, the report said.An Education Ministry spokesman, Qari Mansor Ahmad Hamza, called the SIGAR report baseless and said the quality of teaching and school facilities in Afghanistan is better than before.“At present, the projects and financial assistance of international aid agencies are under the strong supervision of the top leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” Hamza said, employing the term the Taliban use to describe their administration. The leadership promises to “invest this aid” and share reports with the country, the spokesman added.。    本报讯 露营作为一种健康、绿色、亲近自然的休闲方式，越来越受到人们的喜爱。近日，范家乡首届露营节在范家乡露营基地启动。         　　启动仪式上表演了精彩的文艺节目，二人转、小提琴演奏、舞蹈、合唱等异彩纷呈的文艺节目为游客们带来了视听盛宴，将露营基地的氛围推向高潮。         　　此次露营节吸引了众多媒体人、自驾游爱好者、露营达人及市民群众等千余人参加。露营基地里，白色帐篷错落有致地排列着，游客们三五成群，或拍照打卡亲近自然，或围坐在树下与家人朋友聊天，或在帐篷边搭炉烧烤，享受幸福的慢生活。         　　据了解，范家乡露营基地现有帐篷50余个，每个帐篷都配备桌椅、烤炉、火炭等物品。露营基地依山傍水，还有水边秋千、充气城堡、水上快艇等游乐项目，为游客在踏青露营、体验原生态的同时增添了更多乐趣。基地里舒适的环境、体贴的服务深受游客们的喜爱和欢迎。         　　范家乡露营基地的建立，带动了周边群众的增收致富，为乡村振兴发展注入了新的活力。
