Another Clusterfuck in Afghanistan

[unhappycamper]

Salaries of police officers not paid in Nuristan province
By Ghanizada - Wed Mar 21, 4:08 pm

Hundreds of Afghan national police service members have not received their monthly wages during the past five months in eastern Nuristan province, local officials said.

The main reason behind the delay to pay the Afghan police forces in this province is unknown and the Afghan officials vowed to start an investigation in this regard.

A number of the Afghan police service members who have not received their salaries said they are facing critical financial problems and said that they will be forced to leave their jobs if they do not receive their monthly wages.

This comes as there are mounting concerns over the growing influence of the Taliban militants in eastern Nuristan province.
