Afghanistan’s last finance minister now Uber driver in Washington
WOODBRIDGE, Virginia: Until last summer, Khalid Payenda was Afghanistan's finance minister, overseeing a $6 billion budget - the lifeblood of a government fighting for its survival in a war that had long been at the center of US foreign policy.

So what's happened? Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country," President Joe Biden said as desperate Afghans rushed to the airport the day after Kabul fell, adding: "We gave them every tool they could need. . . . We gave them every chance to determine their own future. What we could not provide them was the will to fight for that future."

The question of what happened and who was at fault haunted Payenda. He blamed his fellow Afghans. "We didn't have the collective will to reform, to be serious," he said. He blamed the Americans for handing the country to the Taliban and betraying the enduring values that supposedly had animated their fight. He blamed himself.
