Afghanistan’s Taliban selling US weapons to Yemen’s Houthis

Summary

Following the Biden administration’s rapid withdrawal from Kabul in 2021, approximately one million US weapons were left behind, with half a million now unaccounted for, according to sources. These weapons have reportedly been sold or smuggled to various terror groups, including the Houthis and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, as admitted by Taliban officials during a UN meeting. Despite these claims, the Taliban’s deputy spokesperson asserted that all weapons are securely stored, while former President Trump criticized the withdrawal strategy, emphasizing the need to recover the abandoned military equipment.
