The United States signed a memorandum of understanding on
Monday acoording to which it agreed to give $38.7 million to
27 Afghan provinces that eliminated or significantly reduced
poppy production in the world's biggest supplier country,
AFP reported.
According to the MOU, the money will be handed over to
Afghanistan's counter-narcotics ministry, which will
disperse the cash to the 27 different provinces to finance
development or alternative crops.
Afghan Counter-Narcotics Minister General Khodaidad
Khodaidad said on Monday that the money will benefit 20 (out
of 34) provinces which are poppy-free and seven provinces
where poppy cultivation has "significantly decreased over
the last year."
The poppy crop in Afghanistan, the raw ingredient for making
heroin, provides 90 percent of the world's supply of opium
and is linked to corruption, addiction, and a drug trade
that bankrolls the Taliban. Afghanistan has one of the
highest addiction rates in the world.
A report published last month in tThe New York Times
identified the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai as a
CIA operative and a major opium dealer. He was also reported
to have close ties with the Taliban.
The Opium trade is reportedly the major source of funding
for the Taliban.
Khodaidad also expressed hope that by 2010, four or five
more provinces would be free of poppy cultivation.
The United Nations has estimated the export value of Afghan
narcotics at about 3.4 billion dollars per year, and Afghan
officials have said that drug profits provide the Taliban
with as much as 100 million dollars per year.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
