US watchdog says Taliban benefiting from international aid through 'fraudulent' NGOs_我的网站

A |     KABUL, Afghanistan -- The watchdog for U.S. assistance to Afghanistan has warned that the Taliban are benefiting from international aid through the establishment of fraudulent nongovernmental organizations.The Taliban have exerted greater control over national and international NGOs since seizing power in August 2021. They have barred Afghan women from NGO work and sought to push out foreign organizations from the education sector.A report from the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, said it found that the Taliban benefit from American-funded education programming through the generation of tax revenues and from more “nefarious” methods like the establishment of fraudulent NGOs and extorting and infiltrating existing NGOs to obtain or direct international donor aid. In May, a SIGAR report highlighted the Taliban’s interference with NGO work in Afghanistan. The Ministry of Economy, which supervises the sector, rejected the claims. Ministry spokesman Abdul Rahman Habib, responding to the latest SIGAR report on Monday, said there was no evidence of interference.According to the report, published this month, the U.S. has spent around $185 million on education in Afghanistan since August 2021.An NGO official told SIGAR that the Taliban target and extort Afghans who receive monetary support from American-funded education programs under the guise of taxation. In another example, NGO officials told the watchdog that the Taliban coerced NGOs into hiring supporters or purchasing goods from Taliban-owned companies.Taliban policies and priorities have reduced the overall quality of education, with a drop in the number of teachers and a decrease in teacher quality, as unqualified community members or Taliban officials replace staff, SIGAR said."We found that the Taliban have been unable to fully fund public school teacher salaries and building maintenance costs, leading to further teacher shortages and the deterioration of school buildings."The redirection of international donor aid to community-based education schools, along with financial and infrastructure challenges facing the Taliban, raised serious questions about how the Taliban could sustain the education sector and if they had any intention of doing so, the report said.An Education Ministry spokesman, Qari Mansor Ahmad Hamza, called the SIGAR report baseless and said the quality of teaching and school facilities in Afghanistan is better than before.“At present, the projects and financial assistance of international aid agencies are under the strong supervision of the top leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” Hamza said, employing the term the Taliban use to describe their administration. The leadership promises to “invest this aid” and share reports with the country, the spokesman added.。    饕客们是否曾在榴梿摊位见过这些“生面孔”？（新加坡讯）榴梿命名千奇百怪，如美球、神仙、飞机猫、坤玉王、松鼠王，饕客们是否曾在榴梿摊位见过这些“生面孔”？这些榴梿究竟是真有来头，还是空有噱头，只是“熟面孔”换了个新名字？The Durian Story老板郑伟铭接受《八视界新闻》访问时透露，据他了解，“美球”和“神仙”应该是果园自己起的名字，这两种榴梿的旺季大概在6、7月。“美球”顾名思义，就是因为外观圆圆的像球，所以被称为“美球”。“神仙”则是一种底部尖尖、果肉苦中带甜的榴梿。

B | 榴梿帝国摊主何俊磊说，“美球”、“东来”和“神仙”其实已经出现已久，只不过产量较少，新加坡比较少有，大家也就比较陌生。据他了解，“东来”也是马来西亚供应商取的名字，因为外观呈现黄色，所以也有人会称它为“黄梨”。这种榴梿相当受欢迎，但一年的产量不多。“美球”的果肉偏苦，蛮受苦榴梿爱好者的青睐。他透露，“美球”的果肉偏苦，所以蛮受苦榴梿爱好者的青睐。至于“神仙”这个名称的由来众说纷纭，有人说是因为树比较高，也有人说吃了会变“神仙”。据好榴恋摊主李嘉韵了解，“美球”和“东来”都源自马来西亚柔佛州。命名“飞机猫”的榴梿，受访业者解释，它其实就是猫山王，只是体型符合出口到中国的标准，因为会“搭飞机”，所以被起外号“飞机猫”。

C | 在李嘉韵和郑伟铭看来，“飞机猫”更像是一种噱头。

D | 何俊磊说，“飞机猫”应该是近一、两年来兴起的一种叫法，也可以说是业内说自己榴梿比较好的一种说法。他透露，所谓符合出口到中国的标准是指那些大约两到三公斤重、有“五房肉”的猫山王榴梿，供应商会将这些榴梿速冻起来，然后出口到中国销售。在市面上不时会看到的“坤玉王”和“松鼠王”，有些也是猫山王的“分身”，像是“坤玉王”，指的就是那些产自吉兰丹的猫山王。“东来”外观呈现黄色，也有人会称它为“黄梨”。李嘉韵说，吉兰丹是猫山王的原产地，“坤玉王”的外表跟其他猫山王大致上是一样的，但有些人会认为“坤玉王”的口感比较好。至于“松鼠王”，郑伟铭说，确实有这种榴梿，但通常只出现在槟城，因为路途遥远，一般不会出口到新加坡，新加坡出现的“松鼠王”可能只是猫山王。谈到这些名字奇特的榴梿会否更受顾客欢迎时，何俊磊说，确实会吸引一些老饕的注意。“有些常吃榴梿的顾客，他们也会想要尝试新鲜、特别的榴梿，像我们有‘青皮’那些不一样的榴梿，他们就会想吃吃看。”但郑伟铭观察到的情况则是相反的。他说，在10名顾客当中，还是有8人会点名要买猫山王，另外两人则可能比较愿意尝鲜。
