So more people are educated.

Or, as a whole, the country is more educated. Especially women.


Lol, that’s like saying Rhyll benefits from Eton educated toffs.


No it's not. Because even common females like you were getting an education.


Do common uneducated males like you benefit from Yale?

An education in the wrong things is worse than ignorance! Alexander had an army in afghanistan. At the mouth of one of the rivers he found a tribe who used sheep's wool to refine gold from the rivers sediments. In the amazon and congo mercury is used.

isn't the cash totally valueless outside Afghanistan?

I can see why they wouldn't take it

conversion rate is $1 = 88 Afghani

I think that makes 1 million Afghani = just over $11,000


tbh i only watched the first few minutes, I couldn't work out what point he was trying to make

I guess he was showing all the money that was left behind, plus all those gold bars. The gold would be worth a bit.

I obviously can't tell how much Afghan money there is, it just goes to show that the Afghan president couldn't even be bothered to take it all. I wonder with how much he actually got away with.

The question is - where did the money come from and why was it stashed in that manner?

I think the Afghan president left it behind when he fled. He appearendly took million and millions with him, so he won't be missing this little stack.

Why did he have all that cash though, and where did he get it from?

That's a very good question. Probably from the state coffers.

Nobody else have the slightest suspicion that video is bullshit? If you say so in Afghanistan, the Taliban have now put their cards on the table. Executions, including stoning for supposed adultery, and amputations are back. They have yet to decide if they’ll be public or not.
