This article brings to light many things that people who may not live in the area of Afghanistan may not know what's going on. As the Taliban continues their rampage in the strees of Afghanistan complaints are rolling in about what they are doing. Recently a discovery was made about the Taliban receiving funds from government officials allowing them to carry out their heinous crimes. The terror group continues with their normal kidnappings and drug cartels but now they openly walk the streets demanding money in exchange for taking care of disputes. A lot of the money that was going to rebuilding in Afghanistan has somehow been distributed to the Taliban. With money coming in from drugs, kidnappings, government officials, and citizens there is no sign of the Taliban stopping. The Taliban happens to be making more money than they can spend. It is stated the only end to the Taliban and their illegal activity would be a thriving and legal economy. Unfortuanately with illegally they are making more money than they ever would in a legal job.
I completely agree with what was stated in the article that as long as the Taliban can make more money doing illegal activities then there is really going to be no stopping especially when they can get funds through the government. The Taliban seems to be free to do whatever they want and until government officials on both ends come together to try and stop what the Taliban is doing the situation is just going to get worst. The Taliban are showing absolutely no concern for any type of authority and no care for the human life. With the economy in the shape that its in things are probably not going to get any better for Afghanistan and pretty much the rest of the world.
