Afghanistan And Humanitarian Aid

EDM number 1859 in 2008-09, proposed by Paul Flynn on 13/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Afghanistan and International development.

That this House is appalled at the theft and waste of most of the $25 billion aid provided for Afghanistan, only 20 per cent. of which reached its intended recipients; notes the great increase in the number of new Afghan millionaires and billionaires in Kabul, including members of President Karzai's family, while poverty is deepening elsewhere; regrets that after eight years of generous Western aid, Afghanistan has the world's third highest child mortality rate and the world's second highest maternity mortality rate; and further regrets NATO's uncritical support for the endemically corrupt Karzai government.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
