US takes major decision over Coalition Support Fund to Pakistan

WASHINGTON: A US Congressional committee has proposed to provide Pakistan with half of Coalition Support Fund (CSF) and linked rest half with action against the Haqqani network.

The House Armed Services Committee on Monday said the $350 million of the total $700 million proposed financial assistance to Pakistan may not be released till the defence secretary certifies to Congress that Islamabad has taken actions against the Haqqani network.

Releasing the text of its version of the National Defence Authorisation (NDAA) Bill, the committee authorised $700 million in the CSF to Pakistan. "Of that amount, not more than $350 million may be provided until the Secretary of Defence certified that Pakistan is taking demonstrable steps against the Haqqani network," it said.

The committee’s proposal is aligned with the administration's consistent position that Pakistan is not acting against terrorist outfits, especially the Haqqani network and needs to be pressured or face aid restrictions.

Last August, the administration announced its South Asia and Afghanistan policy, asking Pakistan to cooperate in its fight against terrorism, and not provide sanctuaries to such elements. Pakistan has repeatedly denied such allegations and vowed to fight terrorism without financial aid from the US .

I was also praying they'd cut us off entirely. Hopefully we can destroy more of their ANA goons and undo their efforts in Afghanistan, and they'll have to cut us off entirely.

 

[IceCold]

So all US demands fell on deaf ear. Why dont they just admit and break the relations anyway. Whether they cut half or stop full nothing will change on the ground.

Aid is corruption in disguise (what is doing FAFT - No grey or black list for US?), or Aid is Aids (what is doing World Health Organization ?), or even aid is drug.... but in the last case, what is doing their DEA ?

 

[Path-Finder]

same old piss in new bottle.

 

[Jaanbaz]

The aid is for Pakistani establishment to continue to be US tools, that's all because of US war of terror and stupid polices of Pakistani establishment during 80s has resulted in deaths of thousands of Pakistanis. The economic loss overshadows any US aid.

 

[Vapnope]

I agree we should do something about Hussain Haqqani group...

 

[Sully3]

we give more aid to afghanistan then this lousy 350 million dollars.

tell the yanks to shove it up their backside

 

[Solomon2]

Since when is a proposal a "decision"?

 

[Safriz]

Why cant we just refuse to take the money and close their supply routes and ask them to take their rubbish elsewhere.

 

[Sugarcane]

I hope the concerned are not already wearing ghongroo to dance on tune. Taking a single more dollar of aid will prove them to be worse than prostitutes as even a prostitute will not spread her leg if you repeatedly humiliate her.

 

[American Pakistani]

Pakistani b@1113ss leaders should reject any aid.

 

[Bashido]

no for hell sake no we are happy without aid god damn .

may god destroy USA if they give us aid

But how our army and Generals will survive without this aid and perks which they will get for being proxy of USA?

 

[Mrc]

Take that 350 million and shove it up your aass
