KABUL (SIGAR) says the US has spent $8.94 billion in Afghanistan on fighting narcotics since 2002.
In a new report, SIGAR claimed the value of narcotics produced in Afghanistan surpassed the country’s exports between 2017 and 2018.
Despite a 20 percent reduction in poppy cultivation in 2018, Afghanistan is still the second largest drug producing country in the world since 1994, the report says.
SIGAR linked reduction in poppy cultivation to low rainfall, not . . .
