Stat of the day: 80% -The percentage of Afghanistan’s population for which the U.S. tried to capture biometrics.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
A U.S. government project intended to track terrorism also aimed to record the biometric data of approximately 25 million civilians, including Afghans who assisted U.S. operations. While it’s unknown just how many biometric records were actually created, human rights groups have voiced concerns that this data may now be accessible to the Taliban.⁠⁠
