La guerre (en #Syrie) : une bonne affaire. (Heureusement, c’est pas en France qu’on verrait des horreurs pareilles !)
British newspaper The Times reported a report by Billy Kanber highlighting “Britain’s suspension of a secret aid program in Syria” after allegations that “the money that was paid to the contractor was very high and it was up to the so-called Mujahideen.”
“The British Foreign Office suspended financial support for the £ 1 million project funded by the Adam Smith International Foundation,” the report said, adding that the project was intended to fund civilian police in Syria in areas controlled by moderate dissidents.
“The funds that were supposed to fund the AJAX project were in the hands of the hardliners,” a BBC documentary said on Sunday.
The Times separately saw leaked documents confirming that the British taxpayer was paying £ 850 a day to foreign workers working for the project, although none of them could ever go to Syria for security reasons.
“Syrian citizens who worked in Syria for the project received only £ 68.50 per day,” the paper said.
“The Ajax project, which began at the end of 2014 with funding from Britain and many other countries, aims to train and fund the Free Syrian Army police in Idlib and Aleppo,” the report writer said.
“Britain contributed an estimated £ 13 billion,” he said.
“The documents I have seen revealed that a Turkish employee stole from Ajax about US $ 45,000 in February, and the matter was pursued and only US $ 1400 was recovered.”
