Introduction Since the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban jihadi organization) took over Kabul in mid-August 2021, the senior Taliban leadership, seeking international recognition, has been trying to convince the West that it no longer supports any terrorist groups in Afghanistan. However, a report of the UN Monitoring Team submitted to the UN Security Council reveals that the Afghan Taliban continue to have an active collaboration with Al-Qaeda and remain in direct control of other foreign terrorist organizations.
The report – titled "Thirteenth report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team Submitted Pursuant to Resolution 2611 (2021) Concerning the Taliban and Other Associated Individuals and Entities Constituting a Threat to The Peace Stability And Security of Afghanistan" – was published on May 26, 2022.

It adds: "[I]t is not possible to view Taliban finances separately from government revenue: they are intertwined and essentially the same. Although some officials from the former government remain in Da Afghanistan Bank and the ministry of finance, the Taliban have made strategic appointments of loyalists to key ministries, giving them access to information regarding government finances. They are said to want to know and control the source of revenues and how much is entering and leaving the country. The Haqqani Network currently occupies some key positions in the Bank..."
The report lists a number of Taliban officials who continue to face international travel ban but were still appointed to top positions in the Taliban government.
However, the report is an indictment of the Afghan Taliban for supporting and hosting foreign jihadi terror organizations. Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), two Pakistani jihadi organizations which went underground in recent years following the Western pressure on Pakistan, are living under the patronage of the Afghan Taliban in several terror training camps in Afghanistan. Similarly, the Afghan Taliban continue to protect and work together with Jamaat Ansarullah, a close ally of Al-Qaeda, and Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), another branch of Al-Qaeda. East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), an anti-China terror group comprising of Uyghur Muslims from Xinjiang (East Turkestan) province of China, is also sheltered by the Taliban who have maintained close ties with China in recent years.

It includes subjects that will cover the following topics: how Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda In the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), and Jamaat Ansarullah are flourishing under the Afghan Taliban's direct protection; the Afghan Taliban's support for Pakistani jihadi organizations such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Jaish-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Taiba; and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) visited by Afghan Taliban delegation; as well as the Taliban's facilitation of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) and Islamic State's Khurasan Province (ISIS-K).
What a surprise
Well....duh
And?
Well it’s a good thing nobody is giving them millions of state of the art equipment then.
millions of dollars of state of the art equipment
84,000× $1 million, if the reported 84 billion is accurate. The word billion simply does not convey the enormity of that number. 1000 million is more descriptive.
Earth calling the US military and BidenIdiot.
Surprise surprise surprise! I did not see that coming did ya’ all?
