In this Monday, Aug. 3, 2020 file photo, Taliban prisoners watch through the door inside the prison after an attack in the city of Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been at war for more than 40 years, first against the invading Soviet army that killed more than 1 million people, then feuding mujahedin groups in a bitter civil war followed by the repressive Taliban rule and finally the latest war that began after the 2001 U.S.
Danish Habibi was just a child in 2000 when the Taliban overran his village in Afghanistan’s serene Bamiyan Valley. His memories of those days are reoccurring nightmares. Men were forcibly separated from wives and children. Dozens were killed. Habibi’s father disappeared only to return a beaten, broken man, never able to work again. Habibi wonders how he will be able to accept peace with the Taliban.Reyhana Hashimi told of how her 15-year-old sister, Atifa, was killed by Afghan security forces.
Washington signed a deal with the Taliban in February to pave the way for the Doha talks and American forces’ eventual withdrawal. The Americans championed the deal as Afghanistan’s best chance at a lasting peace.Afghanistan has been at war for more than 40 years. First was the Soviet invasion in 1979 and nine years of fighting.
Mujahedeen warlords like Sayyaf have remained powerful since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion and head heavily armed factions. They include men like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who was on the U.S. terrorist list until he signed a 2017 peace pact with Ghani’s government, and Uzbek warlord Marshal Rashid Dostum, who has been implicated in a litany of human rights crimes.
Even if an intra-Afghan deal is reached, many Afghans fear that the country’s many factions, including the Taliban, will fight for power if U.S. and NATO troops leave. “The day after peace, we must recognize that all Afghans belong to this country ... that this Afghanistan belongs to each individual of this country, and that we must live as citizens of this country,” said Karzai. “Only then can we live in a country that looks toward a better future.”
C’mon, tell the whole story. Being the world’s most prolific supplier of opium is the cause of their woes.
'Come up here- He's asking you to prepare to be one of the rising numbers that day. That is to be prepared. This is an amazing time in the history of the church. TheSundayExpedition
Nonsense about trauma, in Afghanistan this is normal warring tribal discussions.
Four decades, try over 4 centuries. The region of the world that is Afghanistan has been in conflict since Genghis Khan's time. But more to the point ... The Afghans will always be in conflict until they have a centralized rail system. 🤷♂️
Long past time we leave Afghanistan to the Afghans........we do everything but breathe for them ........good luck Afghan National Army
I have often wondered what me and my boys would do, if there were foreign soldiers, tanks, and drones, in our streets and our skies. We would grab our guns, and run to the mountains. We used to call them, Minutemen. In Afghanistan they are called insurgents.
Foreigners should stop invading Afghanistan America NATO and Soviet (Russia) should pay for the damage they have caused to Afghanistan.
(قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡقَادِرُ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یَبۡعَثَ عَلَیۡكُمۡ عَذَابࣰا مِّن فَوۡقِكُمۡ أَوۡ مِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِكُمۡ أَوۡ یَلۡبِسَكُمۡ شِیَعࣰا وَیُذِیقَ بَعۡضَكُم بَأۡسَ بَعۡضٍۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَیۡفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡـَٔایَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَفۡقَهُونَ) [Surah Al-An'am 65]
The REAL WAR is about to begin PLAY TIME is OVER!
