CIA-Funded Militias An Obstacle To Peace In Afghanistan

The U.S. military and the CIA assembled Afghan militias to fight jihadis after America’s invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, soon after the September 11 attacks.
Nearly 18 years later, the CIA is still covertly paying and directing local militias in operations against the Taliban and other Islamic terrorists.
A new report from the Costs of War Project at Brown University’s Watson Institute questions whether the U.S. can fully integrate the militias into Afghan society post a peace agreement. Link
