Nederland en Afghanistan 147



Slachtoffertje van de door het Westen massaal gebruikt verarmd uranium munitie in Afghanistan en Irak.

Naar aanleiding van het feit dat Groen Links nu ook voor de oorlog in Afghanistan is, stuurde Donkerdoorn mij dit bericht:

'Urgent action needed to avoid humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan, says Oxfam


KABUL, Afghanistan: Urgent action is needed to avert humanitarian disaster in Aghanistan where millions face "severe hardship comparable with sub-Saharan Africa," the international aid agency Oxfam said.

A report by the Britain-based agency said U.S. spending on aid in the country was only a fraction of its military expenditure there, and too much of the aid money goes on high salaries.
Although the U.S. Agency for International Development has spent more than US$4.4 billion (€3 billion) in Afghanistan since 2002, Oxfam said that figure is dwarfed by U.S. military spending here — US$35 billion (€23.88 billion) in 2007 alone.
"As in Iraq, too much aid is absorbed by profits of companies and subcontractors, on non-Afghan resources and on high expatriate salaries and living costs," said the report Tuesday prepared for a British parliament committee. "Each full-time expatriate consultant costs up to half a million dollars a year."
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul said it could not immediately comment.'

Wilt u er zeker van zijn dat de westerse terreur in Afghanistan doorgaat, moet u zeker op Groen Links stemmen. Ze zijn wat laat aan boord gekomen, maar nu gaan ze er ook helemaal voor.
