What the Taliban Resurgence Means for Money Laundering

Who is Impacted Most by the Taliban’s Resurgence?

 

The biggest question for the global community is who will be most affected by the Taliban’s return to power. The most obvious answer, of course, is the people of Afghanistan. This is especially true for women and girls who gained many civil rights, including the right to work and attend school in the past 20 years.

 

Human slavery is just one of the criminal activities that fuel the Taliban’s operations. The group is also linked to extortion, kidnapping, child soldiers, and collaboration with terrorist organizations like al Qaeda. Its most lucrative source of revenue comes from drug trafficking, however. As recently as last year, the group is estimated to have earned $460 million from opium poppy cultivation. Simultaneously, the Taliban have also circumvented UN sanctions and collect revenues from illegal mining operations and outside sources.
