By Juliet Vincent
The DOGE team headed by Elon Musk has fired 400 USAID employees.
The purge campaign comes as Musk and DOGE targeted USAID, with Musk calling it a “criminal organization” that “needs to die.”
According to Sputnik, the 400 sacked were contractors employed directly by the US government.
Sputnik quoted the New York Times (NYT) report stating that, some of the dismissed workers had experience in armed conflict zones, including Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine.
According to the report, 36 were dismissed from the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), specializing in helping “partner countries” with political transitions and so called “democratic initiatives.”
The employees worked under the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and the Support Relief Group responsible for responding to armed conflicts and natural disasters.
