The United States’ deputy chief of mission to Afghanistan Richard H. Riley said on Sunday at the ninth Cooperation Meeting of Afghanistan’s Donor Countries in Kabul that accountability needs to be enforced as a precondition for foreign aid to Afghanistan.

Riley said corruption has undermined the legitimacy and ability of government institutions and that Taliban use the situation for their own interests. According to Riley, the sale of fuel by security forces to the enemy will damage the important missions in Afghanistan.
