US Congressman Accuses USAID of Funding Terror Groups

US Congressman Scott Perry has accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of funding terrorist organizations such as Boko Haram, claiming that taxpayer money is misappropriated towards groups that threaten American lives. During a recent congressional hearing, Perry highlighted that USAID's funding practices, including $697 million annually and specific projects like $136 million for schools in Pakistan, lack transparency and accountability. Investigative reports further suggest that USAID has allocated over $9 billion to Islamic terrorist states implicated in the deaths of over 3,000 American soldiers, raising serious concerns about the agency's financial oversight. Critics argue that this funding supports adversaries while undermining U.S. national security interests. The controversy has sparked discussions about the efficacy and ethics of U.S. foreign aid programs, with calls for a thorough investigation into the agency's funding distributions. Perry's claims tie into broader allegations that aid programs can inadvertently empower terrorist groups, complicating the U.S.'s geopolitical strategies.
