1626589144570019848 | @kai_eide @smithkabul @AntonioGiustoz2 @BRRubin It’s an honor to have you. Afghanistan will be always remembering those who supported peace and prosperity, despite difficult circumstances. | 0 |
1623625088284389377 | @spawnofKahn @smithkabul That's an interesting question. The security situation is basically okay now and WFP has access to every province, but I don't think their funds are being spent very effectively. Their existing budget ought to be enough to eliminate severe food insecurity | 0 |
1623398934428409856 | @smithkabul I don't think this sort of critique does Afghans any favors. Afghanistan is not in its "second year of famine" and the West has not "stolen $7 billion". There's plenty of room for criticism of current US policy—by people who understand the policy and the realities on the ground | 0 |
