Although the mujahideen were aided by the Pakistani, American, British, Chinese and Saudi governments, the mujahideen’s primary source of funding was private donors and religious charities throughout the Muslim world—particularly in the Persian Gulf.

• Foreign donations: The Taliban receive financial aid from certain countries, such as Pakistan, Iran and Russia, as well as private citizens from Pakistan and several Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar¹²⁴. This may account for a significant proportion of their revenue, possibly up to $500 million a year¹.

• Drug trade: Afghanistan is the world’s largest producer of opium, which can be refined to make heroin. The Taliban tax every stage of the drug production and smuggling process, from poppy farmers to traders¹²³.

Also, the people that stay for a few hours or a single night tend to be more reckless and less mindful of local laws and etiquette.

This is high dose nostalgia
