Biden Administration is Donating More Than $300 Million to Afghanistan.

A White House official stated on Tuesday that the US will donate around $308 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, as well as extra COVID-19 vaccination doses.

The United States remains “the single largest donor of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan,” according to National Security Council (NSC) spokeswoman Emily Horne, and the latest donation brings American aid to the impoverished country and Afghan refugees in the region to nearly $782 million since the war’s chaotic end.

“The new humanitarian assistance by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will directly flow through independent humanitarian organizations and help provide lifesaving protection and shelter, essential health care, winterization assistance, emergency food aid, water, sanitation, and hygiene services in response to the growing humanitarian needs exacerbated by COVID-19 and healthcare shortages, drought, malnutrition, and the winter season,” Horne said.

Meanwhile, one million COVID-19 vaccine doses will be delivered to the country under the global vaccine sharing program COVAX, bringing the total number of vaccines donated by the US to 4.3 million.

The United Nations issued a multi-billion dollar financing appeal on Tuesday to avert a humanitarian and economic crisis in the country, and the confirmation of the newest US donations comes at a critical time.

“Today we are launching an appeal for $4.4 billion for Afghanistan itself for 2022,” United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths said at a press conference in Geneva, Switzerland, adding that the plea is the largest ever in humanitarian assistance for a single nation.

According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, 22 million Afghans inside the country and 5.7 million outside its borders require humanitarian aid following the Taliban terrorist group’s takeover in August.

Griffiths warned that if the international community does not act quickly to assist the country, the agency will seek for “ten billion dollars” next year.

“This is a stop-gap, an absolutely essential stop-gap measure that we are putting in front of the international community today,” he said. “Without this being funded, there won’t be a future, we need this to be done, otherwise there will be outflow, there will be suffering.”

The international community provided about 80% of Afghanistan’s previous government’s budget. That money, which is now unavailable, was used to fund hospitals, schools, factories, and government ministries.

Following the Taliban’s takeover of the country, international assistance was blocked and billions of dollars of Afghanistan’s assets overseas, principally in the United States, were frozen.

The decision by the US and the international community not to recognize the Taliban-led government, which ruled under a strict interpretation of Islamic law from 1996 to 2001, has put Western powers in a bind over how to provide adequate aid without giving the Taliban legitimacy or putting money directly into its hands.

Due to a lack of funds, the country’s poverty has risen, and aid organizations have warned of an impending humanitarian disaster. State personnel have not been paid in months, including doctors, teachers, and administrative government servants. Banks, on the other hand, have limited the amount of money account holders can withdraw.

As humanitarian agencies seek to help those in need, the US Agency for International Development has urged the Taliban to enable “all aid workers, especially women to operate independently and securely.”

I cannot imagine how many ways this could go wrong, the UN alone requesting 4.4 billion dollars for “aid” that will assuredly end up being misplaced in every way possible. By all means, feet on the ground to provide aid for those who need it is imperative. But these extremely large sums of money like 308 million that Biden just threw on the table without asking anyone. Are we forgetting that he’s the reason that we’re in this situation in the first place? Keep him away from Afghanistan and let cognizant people take care of it. Not to mention Martin Griffiths, (UN) Under-Secretary-General for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, taking it upon himself to demand $10 billion American dollars for humanitarian aid next year if they don’t adhere to his requests.

It looks like a communist administration because it is one; Why is society paralyzed? Find your courage in the word, Matthew 5:44 says: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Satan is building his own army just like God. In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus tells his apostles they have been given power over unclean spirits, and sends them out to spread the word. We hold power over unclean spirits and our prayer can move mountains. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

A large protest over government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions and vaccination measures on Nov. 21 in Brussels, Belgium, resulted in about 40 arrests and several injuries as police fired water cannons and used tear gas at people throwing rocks and smoke bombs.

Police state about 35,000 people took to the streets, which began peacefully around 1 p.m. local time before some violence broke out several hours later, including the wounding of three police officers, and destruction of property, local news agency VRT reported.

The officers and at least one protester had been transported to hospitals for treatment of minor injuries. Police said late on Nov. 21 they detained 44 demonstrators, although a spokesperson for the Brussels police told VRT that the number of arrests could increase as investigators look into videos.

Facing up to the police lines, protesters held hands and chanted “freedom.” One protester was carrying a placard reading “when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.”

Philippe Close, the mayor of Brussels, wrote on Twitter he condemns the violence that erupted during the demonstration and has instructed police to make arrests.

“The demonstration against COVID measures counted 35,000 protesters,” Close said. “I strongly condemn the troublemakers and I have ordered arrests and video analysis.”

Meanwhile, in the neighboring Netherlands, protests for the third night in a row turned violent in cities across the country as police clashed with angry youth who set fires and threw rocks to protest government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions.

Dutch demonstrators say they find some of the measures unscientific and unvaccinated citizens are being demonized by the government. The Netherlands reimposed a partial lockdown on Nov. 13 for an initial three weeks and is also considering so-called “2G measures,” allowing bars and cafes to ban people who have not been vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

Authorities have claimed that such moves would slow the spread of the CCP virus, although studies have suggested that numerous lockdown efforts around the world have proven to be fruitless in slowing the spread of the COVID-19 or reducing deaths.

Responding to the worst disturbances since a full lockdown led to widespread disorder and more than 500 arrests in January, police said five officers had been injured overnight on Nov. 20 and at least 64 people detained in three provinces, including dozens who threw fireworks and fences during a soccer match at Feyenoord Rotterdam’s stadium.

Four people, believed to have been hit by police bullets, remain in a hospital on Nov. 21, according to a statement by Dutch authorities.

Over the same weekend, thousands of others also turned out for rallies in Switzerland and Italy. The Swiss people protested a forthcoming referendum on whether to approve the government’s COVID-19 restrictions law, while Italians again demonstrated against the government’s “green pass” vaccine passport system.

Protests also were reported in Ireland, Croatia, France, the UK, and the French island territory of Guadeloupe, where demonstrators set police cars on fire and created road blockades.
