AFGHANISTAN FORMER FINANCE MINISTER TURNS UBER DRIVER IN US - SUDDEN PLIGHT!
Home > News Shots > WorldNews about former finance minister of Afghanistan is working as a taxi driver in the United States has caused a great deal of tragedy.
Afghanistan has been under US-backed rule for about 20 years. In this context, the US military withdrew completely from Afghanistan in August 2021. Following this, the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan.
As a result, former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani left the country. A week before the Taliban's capture of the Afghan capital, Kabul, Khalid Payenda, the country's finance minister, resigned and emigrated to the United States with his family.
Khalid Payenda has been working as a taxi driver to look after the family there. He is also a part-time professor at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
"I drive a taxi for 6 hours a day," he said. I earn over $ 150 of that. The United States is to blame for the current situation in Afghanistan. The Taliban seized power because of the withdrawal of US troops. We have ruled for 20 years in the hope given by the United States. It collapsed like a house built on cards in a single day. As painfully stated. The man who once submitted a $ 6 billion budget as finance minister and now works as a foot taxi driver for $ 150 has caused a great deal of tragedy.
