Helmand and Kandahar Urozgan Province is 99% Pashtun, yet they often had Dari-speaking interpreters. From my personal experience, this was a major flaw in the system. Interpreters were often sent to areas where they neither spoke the local language nor understood the culture. This led to significant communication breakdowns, with much being lost in translation. Over the past 20 years in Afghanistan, the wrong people were in charge-they never allowed the right individuals, those with experience and true understanding, to lead the nation. Anyone who tried to do the right thing was quickly shut down. The USA and NATO were aware of these issues but continued to tolerate corruption, crimes, and more. Many of the generals who stayed in the country during the 2021 withdrawal had bought their ranks and positions, and are now being welcomed with open arms in the USA and Europe. Afghanistan’s downfall was largely due to those who were in charge for the past 20 years, and we supported them-and still do. This war was nothing more than a business venture.
@@CR-rm4iy Pakistanis largely speak Urdu, not Pashto unless they're from the tribal areas of Pakistan in the country's west, in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
It was largely the US/NATO's tolerating of such corruption and warlords that led to the country collapsing so quickly. The Taliban just had to out-govern the Afghan state and they did that well, where they could. Especially in their court systems. If people can't even get justice or get disputes resolved, they'll support whoever says will bring justice. The police and Afghan judicial systems were the most corrupt aspects of the state, so people turned to the Taliban to dispense justice. Same way the warlords in the 90's were overtaken by Taliban. Trying to deal with warlords and thugs is like trying to build on quicksand. It's won't work. For decades, people who said they needed to be dealt with were shoved aside, because "the warlords keep the Taliban at bay, we need security before good governance." And we see now how 20 years of tolerating that lie, allowed the country to collapse. The biggest irony being some of the biggest warlords? Atta Noor, Guhl Agha Shirzai and Rashid Dostum? All fled to neighboring nations when Afghanistan fell, they didn't fight at all.
What did you expect?! This is the US and the west policy with what they call the third world, they support dictators and corrupt politicians to serve their interests while claiming they promote democracy and human rights. It's all lies
Me as an Afghan living in Afghanistan. I used to not only hate but envyed the talibans, because of what u heard about them through the previous government, America and NATOs and social media. But when i actually saw them how they are ruling the country and treating us Afghans. I can not ask for more. Infact i am ashamed with my self that how did i hate the good guys, but loved the killers,criminals, warlords, child molesters ,drugs addicts, oppressors, and corrupted government for 20 years. We Afghans are so happy thanks Allah swt ,that we do not care about what the world think or says. Because at the end of the day we live here and we are having harmony in our country and life after quite a long time. When we were in war and under nato occupation we went through hell.

Afghanistan 🇦🇫 has two official languages Pashto and Dari, when documentaries are made the most of the time, the interpreter is Dari speaker going into Pashtun areas enforcing his language on Pashto speakers, so when he finds that he doesn't know Dari, then he needs another interpreter 😂😂😂

Thats seems to bee the major problem ; the difference from city afghan population and the countryside afghan population . The city Afghans always got in touch with modern western lifestyle in opposit to the countryside afghan population. The city ones got the most benefitts from western inspired lifestyle ; the countryside folks did not . I remember Afghanistan in the late 1960-70s where the citys spread the spirit of modern times while the country sides seems to the modern times never reached them for real. Bud it seemed to me it was a very peacefull country in this decades.
Western countries failed to understand the complexities of Afghanistan and seemingly intentionally empowered warlords and armed factions. Instead of promoting stability, their actions exacerbated existing inequalities. For two decades, they fueled conflict among the Afghan people, leaving them vulnerable to extremist ideologies. Now, they observe from a distance, seemingly indifferent, while producing documentaries about the dire situation their interventions have contributed to.
Rather Russia, they got biiiiiiig problem with all kinds of drugs. Theres loads of drug documentaries about USA, but no new about Russia drug habbit... probably too ashamed.
Just leave them alone and stop invading them. Western try to enforce they own ideology to the ppl who don't want it. Now they wonder why the native resist and fight back.
Its still an empire with a littel emperor behind every mountain an in every valley ; and the afghans seems to want to life this way. Leave them alone and let the evolution take care of them.
@@Jackiechan449 Probably yes but in a different way. When patting the head the Police said since you guys (Whiteman) have gone -referring to reduced role and numbers of NATO soldiers -we not seen good days. He basically meant that when NATO was their, they had high income.
Very brave journalists! There is no word strong enough to condemn the atrocities on children 😢 I Wish western troops did an effort to stop the violence
well, i bet Issa khan now must have been pickup by the Taliban, killed and his body is somewhere in the middle of the desert. most probably that is what happened. the other possibility is, he might have flee from Afghanistan, and now living in US or Europe. he for sure have to flee, as there is no way Taliban would not pick him up someday, and "disappeared" him from this earth. it is not matter of if, but it is matter of when.
Highly probable. I reckon if it's easy for the average aspiring migrant to take a boat and come to Europe, it shouldn't be too hard for Issa Khan. I'd watch my back and my family if I was the journalists.
Folks like him did what afghan males ever did ; take every chance to get as mutch as they can from everyone who payed them . Its is the usual afghan males & family clan leaders behavior that rules afghanistan since centurys : You can find a small king behind every mountain and in every valley who only cares for himself and his clans benefitts.
He looks like a corrupt person will ill intent and lying about everything it is duty of every govt and judiciary to take care of such person in that way
These two brothers and their soldiers fought like heroes against the terrorists unfortunately at the end they got nothing except lost bodies and threats in their lives.
In the last slide of the video, please clearly state that the actions of ISAF and its allies led to the Taliban taking over Afghanistan, turning it into a totalitarian state and isolating it from the international community
That will be rubbish ; the afghan male majority like this way of keeping his power and controll , they are not abel to get away from this self created rules .

So glad that people of Afghanistan won in their war of independence against Western invaders. USA, UK, Germany and others committed countless war crimes in Afghanistan, killing innocent civilians , kidnapping and torturing people. Afghasn people never forget.
What the fuck are you talking about? The taliban harboured known terrorists. Lots of afghans hated the Taliban and still do. The Americans gave them the tools to defend themselves against the Taliban taking over again and they just gave up. You seriously don’t want to go there with war crimes.

Since the takeover of Afghanistan, arbitrary killings, targeted violence against minority civilians, and summary executions have continued. Unfortunately, this report fails to reflect these ongoing atrocities.
Afghanistan’s history in the 20th century is a tapestry woven with the threads of hope, progress, and profound tragedy. In the mid-1900s, the land that now echoes with the pain of endless conflict was once a beacon of modernization and social reform. The nation embraced change with a fervor, pushing towards a future where women could vote, learn, and lead. In the 1960s and 70s, Afghanistan’s universities stood tall, welcoming eager minds from across the region, from Pakistan to India, seeking knowledge and enlightenment in a country that valued education and empowerment. Kabul University, in particular, was a symbol of this golden age, a testament to the nation’s aspirations. The dawn of a new era came with the Saur Revolution of 1978, a turning point that promised to reshape Afghan society. The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), with the support of the Soviet Union, seized control, heralding a new order of socialist reforms. These reforms aimed to redistribute land, eradicate illiteracy, and provide universal healthcare. The dream was grand, but the execution harsh. The PDPA’s radical policies alienated many, especially among the deeply conservative and religious sectors of society. Afghanistan, a land of proud traditions, found itself torn between visions of the future and the sacred bonds of its past. Amid this turmoil, the world beyond Afghanistan’s borders watched with bated breath. In the shadows of the Cold War, the United States and its allies saw a threat in the socialist government-a threat that stretched beyond the Hindu Kush to the strategic depths of the Middle East and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The fear was palpable: a socialist Afghanistan could become a Soviet stronghold, altering the delicate balance of power in the region. In response, the U.S. launched Operation Cyclone, a covert operation of unprecedented scale and expense, channeling billions of dollars to arm and support the Afghan mujahideen. Pakistan, under the iron rule of General Zia-ul-Haq, became the conduit for this operation. With financial backing from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s government recruited, trained, and armed these fighters, infusing them with a conservative Islamic ideology that resonated with Zia’s own vision for the region. It was a time when religion was weaponized, not to uplift but to divide, to create soldiers out of believers. Religious schools, or madrassas, in Pakistan’s tribal areas became the crucibles for this radical transformation. Funded by Saudi oil wealth and supported by the CIA, these institutions preached a puritanical form of Islam that cast the Soviet “infidels” as the enemies of the faith. Young Afghans and Pakistanis were molded into instruments of war, their minds filled with a narrative that made jihad a religious duty. This was more than just ideological indoctrination; it was a manipulation of the very soul of a people, exploiting their faith and cultural heritage for geopolitical ends. At the heart of this manipulation was Pashtunwali, the ancient code of conduct that governs Pashtun society. Pashtunwali embodies values such as hospitality, protection of guests, and an unyielding sense of honor. It also enshrines the principle of solidarity in the face of external threats. This was exploited to devastating effect. The saying, “Sabaq da madrase wayi da para da paise wayi, Pa jannat k ba ye zai na we Pa dozakh k ba ghoope wayi,” meaning “those who go to schools do it for money and there will be no place for them in heaven, they will go to hell,” was propagated to sow seeds of mistrust towards education. It was a cruel irony that the word “Taliban,” meaning “students,” would come to signify those who had been taught to despise the very pursuit of knowledge that once brought glory to Afghanistan. Winston Churchill, in his account of the tribal dynamics in the North West Frontier, noted, “Every man’s hand is against the other, and all against the stranger” (“The Story of the Malakand Field Force,” 1898). This sentiment was later exploited by external powers, turning the inherent Afghan unity against foreign invasion into a tool for their own geopolitical chess game. Afghanistan’s fierce independence and its people’s willingness to unite against a common enemy were used to serve a purpose that was never theirs to begin with. The Taliban emerged from this crucible of conflict in the early 1990s. They were the children of the madrassas, young refugees who had known only war and the harsh teachings of their ideological mentors. At first, they promised stability in a land weary of chaos, imposing a strict interpretation of Sharia law that resonated with those longing for order. But the order they brought was one of darkness-marked by the suppression of women, the public executions, and the erasure of cultural heritage, like the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas that stood as silent witnesses to Afghanistan’s rich history. Yet, the seeds of terrorism were sown during this era, seeds that would grow into a global menace. The Taliban, forged in the crucible of the Cold War, harbored and nurtured extremist elements that would eventually turn their wrath outward. The poisonous fruit of this geopolitical game was the rise of international terrorism, culminating in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. The very forces that the West had once armed and trained turned against them, bringing death and destruction to the heart of New York City and beyond. The world watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell, a stark reminder that the consequences of meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations for the sake of strategic advantage can come back with devastating force. The West, proclaiming to be champions of democracy and freedom, supported authoritarian regimes and manipulated the socio-political landscape of Afghanistan, all in the name of fighting communism. How can they claim to bring democracy when they undermined a government that, despite its flaws, was laying the foundation for progress and modernity? They ousted a democratic socialist government because it did not align with their capitalist interests, because it dared to dream of a different future for its people-a future where healthcare was universal, education was free, and women stood shoulder to shoulder with men in the building of a nation. Instead, the West’s interference plunged Afghanistan into a dark abyss, where extremist ideologies flourished and the voices of progress were silenced. The Taliban’s rise was not an accident of history but a direct outcome of foreign intervention and the cynical use of religion as a weapon of war. The very forces that were empowered to combat Soviet influence became the harbingers of terror, not just for Afghanistan but for the world. We are now reaping the bitter fruits of seeds sown decades ago. Terrorism has spread its roots far and wide, claiming innocent lives in a brutal cycle of violence. The Afghan people, once proud and progressive, have borne the brunt of this tragedy, caught in a storm of ideology and power politics that was never theirs to begin with. This is but a chapter in the long and painful saga of a war imposed upon a proud and ancient land-a war that has not only scarred the earth but also the souls of its people. The exploitation of Afghanistan’s culture, faith, and sense of unity for the machinations of foreign powers is a story that resonates with a timeless truth: that the human cost of geopolitical ambition is often borne by those who have the least say in the matter. And in the wake of this tragic history, we are left with a haunting question: what was gained, and at what cost? The echoes of this question reverberate not just in the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan, but in the heart of every nation that has felt the scourge of terrorism born from the ashes of this conflict.
Being an Afghan, I blame the US, Saudi Arabia, And Pakistan for all these atrocities. They all were equally responsible. During the 1980s, the United States initiated Operation Cyclone, a covert operation to support the Afghan mujahideen in their fight against the Soviet Union. Funding escalated rapidly, reaching about $630 million annually by the mid-1980s. This included providing advanced weapons such as Stinger missiles and anti-aircraft guns, which greatly enhanced the mujahideen’s ability to combat Soviet forces. Throughout the decade, the U.S. invested approximately $3 billion, funneling these resources through Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The ISI then supported various warlords and other groups who played significant roles in the conflict, many of whom later formed the core of the Taliban (Bergen, Holy War, Inc., 2001). The Taliban were essentially mujahideen fighters who, after the Soviet withdrawal, regrouped in the 1990s. These fighters had been trained in Pakistani madrassas, funded by the CIA and Saudi Arabia, and embraced a strict and radical interpretation of Islamic law. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, the U.S. continued its involvement in different forms. Over the past 45 years, total expenditure related to Afghanistan, including military operations and strategic efforts, has reached an estimated $2 trillion. This extensive funding and militarization did not bring about reconstruction or stability; instead, Afghanistan remains in a worse situation, with ongoing violence and destruction. The focus on supporting warlords and other groups without a cohesive plan for the country’s future led to an environment of prolonged conflict and unrest. The human cost of this extended conflict has been devastating. Over 1 million Afghans have been killed, with countless others injured and millions forced to flee their homes. This toll extends beyond Afghanistan, contributing to global insecurity as the rise of groups like the Taliban and al-Qaeda resulted in acts of international terrorism, including the September 11 attacks. Hillary Clinton acknowledged the unintended consequences of these actions in 2009, stating, “The people we are fighting today, we funded twenty years ago…” (Fox News interview, 2009). The U.S.’s strategy of funding and arming warlords and other combatants in Afghanistan has left a legacy of death and instability, affecting both the region and the wider world.

Afghanistan 🇦🇫 has two official languages Pashto and Dari, when documentaries are made the most of the time, the interpreter is Dari speaker going into Pashtun areas enforcing his language on Pashto speakers, so when he finds that he doesn't know Dari, then he needs another interpreter 😂😂😂
Wow DW! this is real stuff
Captivating documentary that draws you in immediately, well done
Imagine having boat loads of guns and ammo, seeing children getting r4 ped and you do nothing "oh it could have led to a confrontation" Great WHY TF YOU JOIN THE ARMY?????
Easy to say behind the safety of the computer screen but if you were inside that police compound, what would you have done? (Don't forget your bosses told you to work with these police guys, and that you are outnumbered. Even if you pull a Rambo, what would happen to you afterwards?)
I agree but honestly those troops would have gotten in trouble from there command. It happened previously where troops got in trouble for stepping in. I wonder if the the west would have been ok with it happening to little girls,I bet not
This is a pretty arrogant point of view. Guaranteed you wouldn't have done anything also. I don't see you rescuing children in this video

Whats is like living there now
Thats seems to bee the major problem ; the difference from city afghan population and the countryside afghan population . The city Afghans always got in touch with modern western lifestyle in opposit to the countryside afghan population. The city ones got the most benefitts from western inspired lifestyle ; the countryside folks did not . I remember Afghanistan in the late 1960-70s where the citys spread the spirit of modern times while the country sides seems to the modern times never reached them for real. Bud it seemed to me it was a very peacefull country in this decades.
You never heard of bacha bazi in neighboring Pakistan?!

Western countries failed to understand the complexities of Afghanistan and seemingly intentionally empowered warlords and armed factions. Instead of promoting stability, their actions exacerbated existing inequalities. For two decades, they fueled conflict among the Afghan people, leaving them vulnerable to extremist ideologies. Now, they observe from a distance, seemingly indifferent, while producing documentaries about the dire situation their interventions have contributed to.
Extremist ideology...lol 😂
You can’t see the armies and the independent journalists as the same people.

well, i bet Issa khan now must have been pickup by the Taliban, killed and his body is somewhere in the middle of the desert. most probably that is what happened. the other possibility is, he might have flee from Afghanistan, and now living in US or Europe. he for sure have to flee, as there is no way Taliban would not pick him up someday, and "disappeared" him from this earth. it is not matter of if, but it is matter of when.
His body must stinks
Highly probable. I reckon if it's easy for the average aspiring migrant to take a boat and come to Europe, it shouldn't be too hard for Issa Khan. I'd watch my back and my family if I was the journalists.
Folks like him did what afghan males ever did ; take every chance to get as mutch as they can from everyone who payed them . Its is the usual afghan males & family clan leaders behavior that rules afghanistan since centurys : You can find a small king behind every mountain and in every valley who only cares for himself and his clans benefitts.
most likely k1lled by talibs but maybe as he surrendered they forgave him

Not true
Why don’t you tell us all about it?
Since the takeover of Afghanistan, arbitrary killings, targeted violence against minority civilians, and summary executions have continued. Unfortunately, this report fails to reflect these ongoing atrocities.
Afghanistan’s history in the 20th century is a tapestry woven with the threads of hope, progress, and profound tragedy. In the mid-1900s, the land that now echoes with the pain of endless conflict was once a beacon of modernization and social reform. The nation embraced change with a fervor, pushing towards a future where women could vote, learn, and lead. In the 1960s and 70s, Afghanistan’s universities stood tall, welcoming eager minds from across the region, from Pakistan to India, seeking knowledge and enlightenment in a country that valued education and empowerment. Kabul University, in particular, was a symbol of this golden age, a testament to the nation’s aspirations. The dawn of a new era came with the Saur Revolution of 1978, a turning point that promised to reshape Afghan society. The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), with the support of the Soviet Union, seized control, heralding a new order of socialist reforms. These reforms aimed to redistribute land, eradicate illiteracy, and provide universal healthcare. The dream was grand, but the execution harsh. The PDPA’s radical policies alienated many, especially among the deeply conservative and religious sectors of society. Afghanistan, a land of proud traditions, found itself torn between visions of the future and the sacred bonds of its past.
Amid this turmoil, the world beyond Afghanistan’s borders watched with bated breath. In the shadows of the Cold War, the United States and its allies saw a threat in the socialist government-a threat that stretched beyond the Hindu Kush to the strategic depths of the Middle East and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The fear was palpable: a socialist Afghanistan could become a Soviet stronghold, altering the delicate balance of power in the region. In response, the U.S. launched Operation Cyclone, a covert operation of unprecedented scale and expense, channeling billions of dollars to arm and support the Afghan mujahideen. Pakistan, under the iron rule of General Zia-ul-Haq, became the conduit for this operation. With financial backing from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s government recruited, trained, and armed these fighters, infusing them with a conservative Islamic ideology that resonated with Zia’s own vision for the region. It was a time when religion was weaponized, not to uplift but to divide, to create soldiers out of believers.
Religious schools, or madrassas, in Pakistan’s tribal areas became the crucibles for this radical transformation. Funded by Saudi oil wealth and supported by the CIA, these institutions preached a puritanical form of Islam that cast the Soviet “infidels” as the enemies of the faith. Young Afghans and Pakistanis were molded into instruments of war, their minds filled with a narrative that made jihad a religious duty. This was more than just ideological indoctrination; it was a manipulation of the very soul of a people, exploiting their faith and cultural heritage for geopolitical ends. At the heart of this manipulation was Pashtunwali, the ancient code of conduct that governs Pashtun society. Pashtunwali embodies values such as hospitality, protection of guests, and an unyielding sense of honor. It also enshrines the principle of solidarity in the face of external threats. This was exploited to devastating effect. The saying, “Sabaq da madrase wayi da para da paise wayi, Pa jannat k ba ye zai na we Pa dozakh k ba ghoope wayi,” meaning “those who go to schools do it for money and there will be no place for them in heaven, they will go to hell,” was propagated to sow seeds of mistrust towards education. It was a cruel irony that the word “Taliban,” meaning “students,” would come to signify those who had been taught to despise the very pursuit of knowledge that once brought glory to Afghanistan.
Winston Churchill, in his account of the tribal dynamics in the North West Frontier, noted, “Every man’s hand is against the other, and all against the stranger” (“The Story of the Malakand Field Force,” 1898). This sentiment was later exploited by external powers, turning the inherent Afghan unity against foreign invasion into a tool for their own geopolitical chess game. Afghanistan’s fierce independence and its people’s willingness to unite against a common enemy were used to serve a purpose that was never theirs to begin with. The Taliban emerged from this crucible of conflict in the early 1990s. They were the children of the madrassas, young refugees who had known only war and the harsh teachings of their ideological mentors. At first, they promised stability in a land weary of chaos, imposing a strict interpretation of Sharia law that resonated with those longing for order. But the order they brought was one of darkness-marked by the suppression of women, the public executions, and the erasure of cultural heritage, like the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas that stood as silent witnesses to Afghanistan’s rich history.
Yet, the seeds of terrorism were sown during this era, seeds that would grow into a global menace. The Taliban, forged in the crucible of the Cold War, harbored and nurtured extremist elements that would eventually turn their wrath outward. The poisonous fruit of this geopolitical game was the rise of international terrorism, culminating in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. The very forces that the West had once armed and trained turned against them, bringing death and destruction to the heart of New York City and beyond. The world watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell, a stark reminder that the consequences of meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations for the sake of strategic advantage can come back with devastating force.
The West, proclaiming to be champions of democracy and freedom, supported authoritarian regimes and manipulated the socio-political landscape of Afghanistan, all in the name of fighting communism. How can they claim to bring democracy when they undermined a government that, despite its flaws, was laying the foundation for progress and modernity? They ousted a democratic socialist government because it did not align with their capitalist interests, because it dared to dream of a different future for its people-a future where healthcare was universal, education was free, and women stood shoulder to shoulder with men in the building of a nation. Instead, the West’s interference plunged Afghanistan into a dark abyss, where extremist ideologies flourished and the voices of progress were silenced.
The Taliban’s rise was not an accident of history but a direct outcome of foreign intervention and the cynical use of religion as a weapon of war. The very forces that were empowered to combat Soviet influence became the harbingers of terror, not just for Afghanistan but for the world. We are now reaping the bitter fruits of seeds sown decades ago. Terrorism has spread its roots far and wide, claiming innocent lives in a brutal cycle of violence. The Afghan people, once proud and progressive, have borne the brunt of this tragedy, caught in a storm of ideology and power politics that was never theirs to begin with.
This is but a chapter in the long and painful saga of a war imposed upon a proud and ancient land-a war that has not only scarred the earth but also the souls of its people. The exploitation of Afghanistan’s culture, faith, and sense of unity for the machinations of foreign powers is a story that resonates with a timeless truth: that the human cost of geopolitical ambition is often borne by those who have the least say in the matter. And in the wake of this tragic history, we are left with a haunting question: what was gained, and at what cost? The echoes of this question reverberate not just in the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan, but in the heart of every nation that has felt the scourge of terrorism born from the ashes of this conflict.
Being an Afghan, I blame the US, Saudi Arabia, And Pakistan for all these atrocities. They all were equally responsible. During the 1980s, the United States initiated Operation Cyclone, a covert operation to support the Afghan mujahideen in their fight against the Soviet Union. Funding escalated rapidly, reaching about $630 million annually by the mid-1980s. This included providing advanced weapons such as Stinger missiles and anti-aircraft guns, which greatly enhanced the mujahideen’s ability to combat Soviet forces. Throughout the decade, the U.S. invested approximately $3 billion, funneling these resources through Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The ISI then supported various warlords and other groups who played significant roles in the conflict, many of whom later formed the core of the Taliban (Bergen, Holy War, Inc., 2001). The Taliban were essentially mujahideen fighters who, after the Soviet withdrawal, regrouped in the 1990s. These fighters had been trained in Pakistani madrassas, funded by the CIA and Saudi Arabia, and embraced a strict and radical interpretation of Islamic law.
After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, the U.S. continued its involvement in different forms. Over the past 45 years, total expenditure related to Afghanistan, including military operations and strategic efforts, has reached an estimated $2 trillion. This extensive funding and militarization did not bring about reconstruction or stability; instead, Afghanistan remains in a worse situation, with ongoing violence and destruction. The focus on supporting warlords and other groups without a cohesive plan for the country’s future led to an environment of prolonged conflict and unrest.
The human cost of this extended conflict has been devastating. Over 1 million Afghans have been killed, with countless others injured and millions forced to flee their homes. This toll extends beyond Afghanistan, contributing to global insecurity as the rise of groups like the Taliban and al-Qaeda resulted in acts of international terrorism, including the September 11 attacks. Hillary Clinton acknowledged the unintended consequences of these actions in 2009, stating, “The people we are fighting today, we funded twenty years ago…” (Fox News interview, 2009). The U.S.’s strategy of funding and arming warlords and other combatants in Afghanistan has left a legacy of death and instability, affecting both the region and the wider world.
