The Withdrawal

It was around 20 years of the American forces in Afghanistan fighting against terrorism. So a decision had to be taken!

​

Several weeks after President Joseph Biden confirmed that international forces would depart Afghanistan by the fall of 2021, Taliban forces began a sweeping advance that captured wide swaths of the country discussed in the section above. On August 30, 2021, the last U.S. military forces depart Afghanistan, leaving it underTaliban rule. The exit was chaotic, two-week withdrawal process during which more than 120,000 people were evacuated. The next day, President Biden says the United States should learn from its mistakes and that the withdrawal marks an end of “an era of major military operations to remake other countries.”
