The U.K. government is funding ISIS to the tune of $723 million, according to leaked British government documents.
The leaked documents reveal the British government is sending $723 million in “aid” to Somalia while admitting it is “certain” to be used to fund terror groups ISIS and Al-Shabaab.
The revelation that the UK is funding ISIS comes in a leaked 41-page business plan drawn up by the UK’s Department for International Department.

The Daily Mail reports that the document, leaked to The Mail on Sunday, outlines strategy until 2020, and is marked ‘Official Sensitive’ on every page.
In a detailed ‘risk register’, it rates the probability of taxpayers’ funds being ‘misused or diverted by listed terror groups or criminal gangs’ as ‘certain’ and ‘likely to grow in the next six to 12 months’ as tensions rise ahead of elections.
It also accepts there is a similar ‘certain’ risk rating – highlighted in red – that consultants will be unable to travel to insecure areas to monitor spending.
‘This is so alarming,’ said one Minister. ‘The public will be deeply concerned that their hard-earned cash is literally being handed out to terrorist organisations.’
Ian Austin, the Labour MP for Dudley North, said he planned to table questions to Ministers. ‘Taxpayers will be horrified to find their money is going to terrorists at a time when police forces here are having budgets cut and officers are losing their jobs,’ he added.
Other leaked papers expose that Britain is still sending bilateral payments to India worth £70 million this year, despite pledges to end such transfers last year amid concerns over funding a nation with its own aid agency and a sophisticated space programme.
They also show Britain is giving cash to countries, including major aid recipients, despite high risks of corruption and concerns over the effectiveness of projects.
DFID officials admit that despite international diplomatic efforts in Somalia led by former Prime Minister David Cameron, large parts of the country are insecure and that the al-Shabaab group ‘appears to have had a resurgence’.
Yet the UK is doling out £568.4 million, despite the document admitting ‘Somalia remains an inherently high-risk operating environment.’
Officials set out tactics for mitigating such problems, including use of ‘trusted partners’ on the ground.
But the shocking revelations will fuel concerns that British cash is being misspent as billions are diverted into fragile states, worsening rather than alleviating problems.
Earlier this year, there was fury among many MPs after this newspaper revealed that British aid was ending up in the pockets of Palestinian terrorists.
There have also been cases of aid being ‘taxed’ or stolen in conflict zones by groups such as al-Shabaab, the fanatics behind the 2013 slaughter in a Kenyan shopping centre.
A leaked UN report has warned of ‘high level and systematic abuses’ by Somali government officials who have passed weapons to the group.
In recent months, Islamic State has become more active in Somalia, even briefly capturing a town in the semi-autonomous Puntland region six weeks ago.
The 18 draft and final business plans cover 16 countries, the continent of Africa, and climate change strategy.
For all the discussion of value for money, poverty reduction and risk protection, they make alarming reading as the British aid budget soars to £16 billion by 2020.
From Mozambique to Malawi, officials admit there are high chances of corruption. In Pakistan – our biggest aid recipient, getting £375 million this year – analysts admit that human rights and space for civil society are on ‘a downward trajectory’.
DFID accepts there is a risk that its ‘programme delivery will be associated with unintended, negative consequences’.
Ethiopia, the second biggest aid recipient, is receiving £332 million, with much of the money funnelled through government systems.
Officials say this is ‘acceptable’, although ‘opposition political parties, independent media and formalised civil society organisations are constrained’.
DFID sources said there was always risk working in conflict zones: ‘We have robust plans to mitigate against this but, on occasion, losses will occur. We are rigorous in investigating any concerns relating to funding.’
The source added that they were investing in India’s poorest people, of whom there are still 290 million, in line with previous pledges to generate growth and jobs.

We all knew we were gonna have been instigators in this shit, licking America’s ass as per usual!! What if trump’s like, ‘relationship over’ between America and the UK, fuck Trident your no getting that either!!
Then where do we stand, the ‘shitty wikkle Bwitan’, with no US at the back and already gave the finger to the EU!!
Not to mention we help destroy Ghana, Libya, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and we’re always pissing off Iran, Russia, China and N. Korea for the Americans. And thats just in the last 8 year!!
Hundreds of years of persecutions, to indiginious folk from all land, Africans made slaves right up until the 1900’s, American Indians and Australian Aboriginals are still persecuted to this day and were hunted like animals, again right up until the 1900’s. but before that the British empire raped and murdered millions of Europeans, Africans, Asians in their attempt to take over and colonize the world. It seems we are still in this game, but just a lot more sly about it, well look whats been happening the last 8 years?!?!
Isis (funded by the US and the UK), have been going around the middle east wiping out whole cities, and although there is 20 countries (supposedly including UK and US) fighting them, bombing them, gathering intel on this terrorist group, they still advance from country to country murdering, raping, demolishing, terrorising and kidnapping.
Some of the countries who are trying to defeat Isis, France, Germany, Syria, Russia, and supposedly the UK and US. Although they are fighting the same battle, they are also blowing up shit and killing people they ain’t meant too and using taxpayers money to do so. So they, the US and UK are constantly blaming Russia and Syria (Syria being the real target for the US and UK, not ISIS) in the mainstream media, although most of this is proven to be untrue, and in some cases it has turned out to be the US or UK that has dropped a bomb on a hospital or residential area in what has looked like a false flag attack to trigger a war with Syria and Russia.
What I can personally see is the UK and US are funding ISIS to ransack Middle Eastern countries in an attempt to rustle them for Oil, simple as that. They say they are there trying to fight ISIS, but then destroy all infrastructure in the country, cause mass immigration and a desolate state, then the Oil baron’s can move in and take what they want, (Chenney and Rothchild were thought to be looking to drill oil in Syria 😮 ).
Russia and Syria are actually fighting ISIS, and this is why they have become a target for the US/UK Allies, because they US/UK allies are ISIS!!
I think this is ridiculous, this government wants to man up and stop sending money out of the country and put more money into our country, people are using food banks just so they can eat children are going without basic needs, more and more people are becoming homeless, people are earning less than they did years ago and this government thinks it’s doing a good justice by increasing minimum wage that a joke an average adult cannot afford to live on minimum wage but hay hoe they can send billions of pound out of tax payers money to fund or help other countries sort your own people out 1st then what’s left give to charity
If you need to understand the history and present day relationship between UK and US this is most helpful:
http://www.silverbearcafe.com/hiddenagendas.html It is a long but worthwhile read to explain the philosophy behind both the GB colonialism and present day Neo-colonial, Neocon and New World Order that Vladimir Putin so reasonably explains on his Utube videos. Many of these have English subtitles. Destabilization of elected governments is a fine art to these people and have been applied since 1953 by the Dulles State Dept. in collusion with BP and M16. Ukraine is a prime example outside of MidEast. To understand Hillary Clinton one only has to investigate her relationship with Victoria Nuland and the coup against the elected government of Ukraine. It is little known that Israel had a proven role in this also: http://www.jta.org/2014/02/28/news-opinion/world/in-kiev-an-israeli-militia-commander-fights-in-the-streets-and-saves-lives Russia and Iran breathe more easily now that Hillary was defeated because of her threats of nuclear attack aganst them. Trump may be unpredictable, but could not be worse and hopefully the Neocons/Israelis will not be able to recruit him as marionettes as Obama. Bill and Hillary Clinton were.
“Palestinian terrorists” Bullshit! More like people defending themselves from Zionist Israeli terrorist!
I am sick fed up of hearing of the utter incompetence of the Dept of Overseas Development. Its long past time it was replaced. It has a politically protected budget. Just maybe its time for a cross party change of policy. Funding ISIS whether by mistake or not is wholly unacceptable.
It’s been past it’s sell by date for years, wants and needs a revamp.
everytime isis or islamic terrorist f*ck up muslims start blaming the govt of that country. i m not saying all muslims are bad. there are good and bad in very religion as per as my knowledge but come on everytime there is an terrorist attack don’t start blaming the victim or govt of that country. till you blamed us for funding terrorist now uk is also funding terrorist. how come if these countries are funding isis why turn on them then. stop bullshitting no one is blaming islam or muslims for terror attacks but its high time you guys also stop blaming victims for their deaths.
Lol, you haven’t been paying attention AT ALL
“no one is blaming Islam.”?!
Suggest a trip to all those Islamic countries that border Israel with no history of terrorism vs its allies that do
You know, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria. Head in the sand much?!
Anyone noticing a pattern here? Islamic immigrants come to civilized nation’s, what follows is terrorism, rape, murder, and money flowing to terrorists groups in ways and amounts never seen.
