A potentially explosive report from The New York Times claims that U.S. officials turned a “blind eye” to ongoing child sex abuse problems within the Afghan army and funded that nation’s military despite repeated allegations of pedophilia and even child sex trafficking.
The New York Times cites a document, released Monday, which says that the U.S. military reported more than 5,000 incidents of “gross human rights abuses” to authorities between 2010 and 2016, many involving children. But despite their repeated requests — and the dictates of American law — the U.S. continued to provide financial support to the Afghan Army.
