It is not surprising to find CIA propaganda online. This case is particularly glaring, but stuff like this gets shared here daily, and in cases like Russia vs Ukraine just contradicting it gets your comment removed.

it's the "United States Institute of Peace," which is a government institution, somewhere between a think-tank and propaganda division, evidently. think Voice of America, or Radio Free Europe. like, it's literally fully funded by Congress and was set up under the Reagan administration.
