On April 6th US president Joe Biden ordered all military forces to be withdrawn from Afghanistan. On 11th of September, 2001 the terrorist group of Al-Qaida attacked New York and Washington hence to commence its 20th anniversary all forces will be withdrawn by September 11th of this year.There are currently about 2,500 US troops in the country, serving alongside 7,000 other foreign troops as part of a NATO coalition. Most, if not all, NATO allies are likely to withdraw in coordination with the US.The only remaining US military presence after September 11 this year will be security for the US embassy, a task normally carried out by marines. The Biden administration has said it will negotiate with the Afghan government over the precise security arrangements for the diplomatic mission in Kabul. Since the US invasion in 2001, launched in the wake of the September 11 attacks. More than 2,300 have been killed, and 20,000 wounded. Nearly 50,000 Afghan civilians have died in the conflict since 2001. According to the UN, 65 journalists, media professionals and human rights defenders were killed between 1 January 2018 and 31 January 2021. Britain has about 750 troops in Afghanistan and sources recently indicated that the UK is likely to largely withdraw in parallel with the US.Biden not being first one to put order for withdrawal, earlier Barack Obama has tried to withdraw the troop in 2016 but failed. Afghanistan was always an issue of political interest and had highly favored the powerful during election. Since this being said many had roused question against it in order to protect people of Afghanistan, as specially there has been an increase in targeted killings. The number of women killed in 2020 rose last year this sure will undermines US commitment to the Afghan people, particularly Afghan women. ReplyForward
