Corrupt Afghan exiles, too, have been known to engage in selling arms on the black market rather than passing them on to the resistance. The major problem for the Afghan resistance, concluded Mr. Girardet, is the fact that many of the freedom fighters are simply not trained to handle anything other than a rifle. He notes that what is most sorely needed is military training in order to conduct a sustained guerrilla war. The Monitor article also pointed out that Congress recently passed a resolution stressing the need for more effective aid to the Afghans. The New York Times reported on November 28, that S280 million had been earmarked for covert military aid to the Afghan resistance during the current fiscal year.
