Taliban refuses to return $7b military equipment left by US in Afghanistan

More than three years after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the country’s new leaders have refused to return the US military equipment left behind.

The equipment are with more than $7 billion.

Taliban
insist they have improved people’s lives, but for years the Taliban has ruled with an iron fist — aided by abandoned U.S. military hardware.

Last year, the Taliban put on a parade showing off its massive haul, including assault rifles and Humvees.

According to a 2022 Department of Defense report, 78 aircraft, 40,000 military vehicles and more than 300,000 weapons were among some of what was left behind.

The Taliban in Afghanistan are adamant over decision for not returning the military equipment that the US military left while exiting the South Asian nation in 2021.

The US troops left Afghanistan after being deployed in the country for 20 years.

The army left weapons worth $7 billion and left the country, which was overtaken by Talibam.
