WASHINGTON, 08 Dec. - (ANA) - The final audit from Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) paints a stark portrait of how tens of billions of dollars ostensibly earmarked for nation?building were diverted, misused or wasted.

 

According to SIGAR's report, from 2002 to 2021 the United States appropriated about $148.21 billion purportedly for Afghan reconstruction. Of that sum, roughly $88.8 billion went to security?sector projects, while other enterprises disguised as development, humanitarian assistance, governance and institution?building consumed the rest.   - (ANA) -
