The US Department of State spokesperson said that Washington has suspended operations in Ghor province of Afghanistan following “evidence of continued attempts by the Taliban” to divert assistance.

Speaking to reporters in Washington D.C., the US State Department’s Spokesman Mathew Miller also said that the World Food Program halted distribution in two districts of Ghazni province from January to April, when local officials attempted to interfere in distribution.

“In April, another US government partner suspended activities in Uruzgan province after the Taliban issued demands to provide transportation support to Taliban representatives … We have been very clear. We don’t provide funding for the Taliban and we have a very strict monitoring and compliance process in place for the partner with which we do work,” he said.
