The money/aid would not be given directly to the Taliban due to current sanctions, so no.

Yes.

Do you know how many billions are being sent, just like Iraq under Blair? There is no guarantee Britain will get the big fat contracts later on. Like Iraq, where Britain and the US invaded them and wasted taxpayers money on the hope they would get all the contracts to rebuild Iraq, they failed. The Chinese got the contacts.

You better tell your hero Boris then, he absolutely loves sending aid to Ukraine, in fact , we are world leading (according to spaffer) and as we have such a robust economy (his words) we can definitely afford it

Sad for the people involved who will get no help from the terrorists running the country, but aid should not be sent to the terrorists. That gives credibility to them and recognising them as a government. First thing they do is ask for help but continue to treat their own people worse than animals. The taliban wanted control so let them deal with the problems themselves

"The views of some and lack of compassion is frightening here.

Is it a hatred for anything unfamiliar, education or another that fuels such feelings of resentment towards people in need? my hatred comes from losing 2 friends there in a fooling war that we should never have been in the tribal shit was never going to change so if the 40 million had a spine and really wanted change but they don't so yes fook them they get what they deserve."

I'm sorry to hear that you lost friends. I guess you can't separate the general population from a militant force who rules that population through terror.

You just said it, the militant force who rules the population through terror.

Unfortunately democracy is no longer recognised, so the the unfortunate millions will suffer.

The only way to topple a terrorist regeme and support the unfortunate millions, would be to go in mob handed. Just like the last time.

No it’s not that just breeds resentment within the general population and the militants just fade away.

The only way to do it lock the country down.Nothing in nothing out. Let them have their tribal wars. Keep it within their borders.

Yes it’s not nice but after a while someone rises to top and puts a lid on it and we get somewhere that functions. And that we can interact with to some degree.

Absolutely disgusting! UK supporting terrorists and their regimes. It’s about time ALL foreign aid was stopped.

Even to Ukraine ?

Yes.

Do you know how many billions are being sent, just like Iraq under Blair? There is no guarantee Britain will get the big fat contracts later on. Like Iraq, where Britain and the US invaded them and wasted taxpayers money on the hope they would get all the contracts to rebuild Iraq, they failed. The Chinese got the contacts.

You better tell your hero Boris then, he absolutely loves sending aid to Ukraine, in fact , we are world leading (according to spaffer) and as we have such a robust economy (his words) we can definitely afford it

It’s a big gamble…..maybe it will pay off, who knows? However ALL foreign aid should be stopped and the money spent on the UK.

What about the aid we spend on ourselves?,shall we stop that too?

Cause thats what you are advocating,Do you hate the UK?

Obviously, you have misread it. Stop ALL foreign aid and use the billions sent out to other countries in the UK. It is not aid if it’s in the UK. "

I have not I am referring to the parts of the foreign aid budget that are spent on our territories and aid to our protectorates.

Do you want to cut that aid?

It's harsh to punish people because of their "leaders" especially when they lead by fotce or fear.

But I guess that's the approach we have taken in Russia

I'm a heart melt so I think aid shouldn't have a business case against it. That's a dangerous path as it applies internally too (even if you don't define helping our own as aid)

The challenge we have in these countries is we are painted as the bad guys. In some repsect we are. We don't do favours. This may be a chance to dispel some myths. It's harder to demonise the hand that heals you.

You should, because your opinion is emotionally charged and could end up hurting innocent people if more people thought like that

If it’s British territory, it’s STILL Britain! The last British protectorate was The British Solomon Islands which was given full independence in 1984.

Any financial help would be eaten by Taliban.

It won't be safe for humanitarian groups to actually go there and help. So sorry. But no.

Once again, because the Taliban are under sanctions, any aid/money would not be given directly to them - the UN would manage all required funds and resources externally before going local via the International Rescue Committee.

Once again mostly all disaster relief is preformed by the military. How you think on the world stage that the Taliban allows NATO C 17 aircraft into Kabul. That is a political disaster for them. Aid workers are targets to them. Best to stay away.

Maybe so, I honestly don't know the answer, but I do think it seems like there's an element of surmising here, given the unique situation (i.e., a non-political disaster)? If the Taliban are themselves requesting aid, not much is gonna be served by them then not allowing that aid in...that's an epic fail on too many counts, surely?

They still receive funds from the foreign aid budget for some expenses although so still counted as foreign aid here technically.

Its Just you did say ALL foreign aid so was curious if you included that.

Apologies I confused protectorate with crown dependancy.Thanks for the correction

Of course we give aid. It's what any civilised and compassionate nation should do.

Behind the Taliban, behind the guns, behind the ideology, there are disaster-struck human beings suffering unimaginable catastrophic loss and trauma.

The regime which is supposed to care for them cannot, and has asked for external assistance.

What message does it send to the everyday people of Afghanistan if we refuse their request ?

That we value their lives even less than their own government does.

And what message does it send to the everyday people of Afghanistan if we agree to their request ?

That we value their lives even more than their own government does.

You don't win hearts and minds bombing people. You win it by helping them.

Aside from the humane right thing to do, this is a political gift to the West.

And on a geo political stage when it's all over then what? . We tried giving women and children hope.. it's a double edge sword atm. Keep trying or just let things be as they are. Clearly the tribes don't want change but when disaster hits .. things change then they go back to the status quo because they got the benefit of what they want.. not what others need.

Maybe they could fly in aid and fly out all the Afghans we abandoned who had previously helped us thinking we were there for them?

As I said, I don't know (and to be honest, none of us do for certain...a natural disaster tends to change things, even for totalitarian regimes), but like I said, if they're calling for aid, and then do something stupid like attacking planes, then 1) they don't get any further attempts to aid the people; and 2) they leave themselves open to further sanctions from the international community - neither is a favourable outcome for the Taliban, I'd argue.
