Afghanistani/æfˈɡænᵻstæn/ (Pashto/Dari: افغانستان, Afġānistān), officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located within South Asia and Central Asia. It has a population of approximately 32 million, making it the 42nd most populous country in the world. It is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east; Iran in the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan in the north; and China in the far northeast. Its territory covers 652,000km2 (252,000sqmi), making it the 41st largest country in the world.
The War in Afghanistan (or the American war in Afghanistan) is the period in which the United States invaded Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks. Supported initially by close allies, they were later joined by NATO beginning in 2003. It followed the Afghan Civil War's 1996–2001 phase. Its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power. Key allies, including the United Kingdom, supported the U.S. from the start to the end of the phase. This phase of the War is the longest war in United States history.
Afghanis-tan(あふがにすタン,Afuganisu-tan, see note on name below) or Afghanistan is a Japanese yonkomamanga, originally published as a webcomic, by Timaking (ちまきing). It is also the name of the heroine of the manga. The manga is nicknamed Afgan(あふがん,Afugan)
Each yonkoma strip is accompanied by an "Afghan Memo" that explains in prose some of the background and history of the nations depicted. Additional pages give short biographies of the characters.
Australian AID (the Australian Agency for International Development) was the Australian Government agency responsible for managing Australia's overseas aid program until 31 October 2013, when it ceased to be an executive agency and was integrated into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The objective of the aid program is to assist developing countries to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development, in line with Australia's national interest.
AusAID provided advice and support to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, presently the Hon. Julie Bishop MP on development policy, and planned and coordinated poverty reduction activities in partnership with developing countries.
AusAID was an independent agency under the Financial Management and Accountability Act, part of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for the purposes of the Public Service Act which covers human resources and non-financial accountability. AusAID's head office was in Canberra. AusAID had representatives in 25 Australian diplomatic missions overseas.

Afghanistan: Caught between drug cartels and the Taliban | DW Documentary
When international troops withdrew in 2021, the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan. The ‘forever war’ was over. But this documentary shows how western military forces were misled or acted on insufficient intelligence -- with fatal consequences for the Afghan civilians they were sent to protect.
The documentary "Winning Hearts and Minds” shows how western forces were deliberately misled and in many cases acted on the basis of inadequate information. The results were a disaster for the Afghan population.
In 2006, when Danish and British troops were deployed to Musa Qala in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, the mission was clear. They were to defend their allies, the local police forces, against Taliban insurgents. But this plan was based on a misconception. While the local police in Mus...

The Polarising Tyrant Who Shaped Afghanistan | History Documentary
I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: https://leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan
For many Islamic countries, the 19th century was a period of trying to survive European imperialism. Powers such as Britain spread the tentacles of its empire across the globe, subjugating disparate lands and peoples. In Central Asia, landlocked Afghanistan was at the prey of not one but two imperial powers, as Russia and Britain contested their Great Game. Emerging from this chaotic backdrop was an Afghan leader who through sheer will and cunning would ensure that Afghanistan, unlike so many other Islamic territories, would avoid the fate...

When international troops withdrew in 2021, the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan. The ‘forever war’ was over. But this documentary shows how western military forces were misled or acted on insufficient intelligence -- with fatal consequences for the Afghan civilians they were sent to protect.
The documentary "Winning Hearts and Minds” shows how western forces were deliberately misled and in many cases acted on the basis of inadequate information. The results were a disaster for the Afghan population.
In 2006, when Danish and British troops were deployed to Musa Qala in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, the mission was clear. They were to defend their allies, the local police forces, against Taliban insurgents. But this plan was based on a misconception. While the local police in Musa Qala were seen as the allies of the West in the fight for democracy and human rights, in reality they supported a brutal and murderous drug cartel.
Filmmakers Martin Tamm Andersen and Nagieb Khaja uncover this scandal, as well as the local police’s alliance with the brutal brothers Koka and Issa Khan. The filmmakers also examine a corrupt ex-governor’s hold over the Musa Qala police and how this man exploited western involvement to help his drug trade. Musa Qala eventually fell to the Taliban, as the population faced a choice between a ruthless drug cartel and an extremist regime.
The film reveals the tragic betrayal of the international mission that ultimately left an entire country in chaos.

I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: https://leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan
For many Islamic countries, the 19th century was a period of trying to survive European imperialism. Powers such as Britain spread the tentacles of its empire across the globe, subjugating disparate lands and peoples. In Central Asia, landlocked Afghanistan was at the prey of not one but two imperial powers, as Russia and Britain contested their Great Game. Emerging from this chaotic backdrop was an Afghan leader who through sheer will and cunning would ensure that Afghanistan, unlike so many other Islamic territories, would avoid the fate of colonisation. If Amir Abdur Rahman Khan had lived in a different age, he probably would’ve campaigned into India or Iran. But the world had changed. Hemmed in by the borders established for him by the colonial powers, the Amir went to work on forcefully knitting his nation together into a cohesive unit under the purview of his government. Abdur Rahman Khan, whose name is still associated with brutality, would leave hundreds of thousands of Afghans dead in his quest to centralise the administration of the country. But with his country under constant existential threat, the man known as the Iron Amir would’ve felt vindicated of his heavy-handedness.

Pride and Fall: The British Army in Afghanistan, 2001-14
Sergio Miller’s new detailed account of the British military campaign in Afghanistan is based on the experiences of those who served. In this narrative, he explores how the conflict evolved and developed over time, from the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and the initial invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 through to the withdrawal in 2014.
His talk will delve into the major episodes of the conflict and explore the challenges and successes the British Army faced, from the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to the major advancements in kit and equipment. The War in Afghanistan has had a lasting impact on the Army and the role it plays in the world.

War In Afghanistan (2001–Present)
The War in Afghanistan stems from the United States invasion of Afghanistan on 7 October 2001, when the United States of America and its allies successfully drove the Taliban from power in order to deny Al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan. Since the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries formed a security mission in the country called International Security Assistance Force in 2014), of which certain members were involved in military combat allied with Afghanistan's government. The war has afterwards mostly consisted of Taliban insurgents fighting against the Afghan Armed Forces and allied forces; the majority of ISAF/RS soldiers and personnel are American.

The War in Afghanistan (2001–present) refers to the intervention by North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and allied forces in the ongoing Afghan civil war. The war followed the September 11 attacks, and its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and denying it a safe basis of operation in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power.
U.S. President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda. The Taliban asked bin Laden to leave the country, but declined to extradite him without evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The United States refused to negotiate and launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance.

British troops in Afghanistan 2001-14: 13 lives remembered
Thirteen years of British soldiers in Afghanistan told through the stories of thirteen lives lost. The Telegraph looks at some of the tributes as we remember all 453 British service personnel killed in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014.
The US began bombing Afghanistan less than 30 days after the Twin Towers in New York were razed to the ground.
On 2 October, 2001, Britain pledged to join the fight and just over six months later, Pt Darren George, a 23-year-old father, became the first British serviceman killed in the conflict.
Capt James Philippson, 29, was also among the first infrequent deaths in the early years of the war. He was killed by while rescuing ambushed service personnel without mission-essential kit.
His death prompted a row over insufficient and poorly maintained res...

After the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries formed a security mission in the country called International Security Assistance Force in 2014) of which certain members were involved in military combat allied with Afghanistan's government.

How to lose a war in 20 years
In 2001 an international coalition led by the USA invaded Afghanistan to destroy terrorist organisation Al-Qaeda when the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden. British forces went in alongside US troops. At the height of the conflict there were more than 130,000 NATO troops on the ground. By July 2021, nearly all NATO countries had fully withdrawn.
But, after 20 years of conflict, the Taliban again claim to be in control of Afghanistan.
In this video, we look at how the war in Afghanistan began, what Britain’s role was, and why the war lasted for 20 years.

The Complete History of The Afghanistan War | Documentary: Part 1
On Sunday 15th August 2021, after an almost 20 year-long absence, the Taliban recaptured the Afghan capital city of Kabul. As the US-led coalition withdrew, the Taliban regrouped and began expanding outward once again. Facing little opposition from the Afghan National Army that had been trained and equipped by western forces, they only grew bolder and began an almost Blitzkrieg-style campaign to retake villages, towns, cities and then entire provinces until they were once again in near-total control of a land that has seemingly only known bloodshed for the better part of fifty years.
The story of the Taliban is the story of Afghanistan in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Cloaked in Islamic ideology that even many of the most prominent Muslim countries have largely moved on from, Af...

The United States refused to negotiate and launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance. The U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military bases near major cities across the country. Most al-Qaeda and Taliban were not captured, escaping to neighboring Pakistan or retreating to rural or remote mountainous regions.[citation needed]
In December 2001, the United Nations Security Council established the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), to oversee military operations in the country and train Afghan National Security Forces. At the Bonn Conference in December 2001, Hamid Karzai was selected to head the Afghan Interim Administration, which after a 2002 loya jirga in Kabul became the Afghan Transitional Administration. In the popular elections of 2004, Karzai was elected president of the country, now named the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
In 2003, NATO assumed leadership of ISAF, with troops from 43 countries. NATO members provided the core of the force. One portion of U.S. forces in Afghanistan operated under NATO command; the rest remained under direct U.S. command. Taliban leader Mullah Omar reorganized the movement and in 2003 launched an insurgency against the government and ISAF.
Though vastly outgunned and outnumbered, the Taliban insurgents, most notably the Haqqani Network and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, have waged asymmetric warfare with guerilla raids and ambushes in the countryside, suicide attacks against urban targets and turncoat killings against coalition forces.

ISAF responded in 2006 by increasing troops for counterinsurgency operations to "clear and hold" villages and "nation building" projects to "win hearts and minds".
While ISAF continued to battle the Taliban insurgency, fighting crossed into neighboring North-West Pakistan. In 2004, the Pakistani Army began to clash with local tribes hosting al-Qaeda and Taliban militants. The US military launched drone attacks in Pakistan to kill insurgent leaders. This resulted in the start of an insurgency in Waziristan in 2007.

In May 2014, the United States announced that its combat operations would end in 2014, leaving just a small residual force in the country until the end of 2016.
As of 2013, tens of thousands of people had been killed in the war. Over 4,000 ISAF soldiers and civilian contractors as well as over 10,000 Afghan National Security Forces had been killed.

The War in Afghanistan (2001–present) refers to the intervention by North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and allied forces in the ongoing Afghan civil war. The war followed the September 11 attacks, and its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and denying it a safe basis of operation in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power.
U.S. President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda. The Taliban asked bin Laden to leave the country, but declined to extradite him without evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The United States refused to negotiate and launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance. The U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military bases near major cities across the country. Most al-Qaeda and Taliban were not captured, escaping to neighboring Pakistan or retreating to rural or remote mountainous regions.[citation needed]

Thirteen years of British soldiers in Afghanistan told through the stories of thirteen lives lost. The Telegraph looks at some of the tributes as we remember all 453 British service personnel killed in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014.
The US began bombing Afghanistan less than 30 days after the Twin Towers in New York were razed to the ground.
On 2 October, 2001, Britain pledged to join the fight and just over six months later, Pt Darren George, a 23-year-old father, became the first British serviceman killed in the conflict.
Capt James Philippson, 29, was also among the first infrequent deaths in the early years of the war. He was killed by while rescuing ambushed service personnel without mission-essential kit.
His death prompted a row over insufficient and poorly maintained resources that would plague the rest of the conflict and seriously damage public perception of the war.
The death of Capt David Patton, 38, in 2006 ushered in a new phase, the Siege of Sangin, which became the most intense period of British fighting.
FS Adrian Davies was killed weeks later in the first of a series of accidents that claimed dozens of British lives. His Nimrod plane crashed in Kandahar, killing a crew of 14 service personnel aged between 22 and 49.
Each of their deaths - and nine more - are remembered in the video above as moments in the War in Afghanistan that represent the 453 British service personnel killed between 2001 and 2014.

The War in Afghanistan is a conflict following the 2001 United States invasion of Afghanistan when the United States and its allies drove the Taliban from power in order to deny al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan. After the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries formed a security mission in the country called International Security Assistance Force in 2014) of which certain members were involved in military combat allied with Afghanistan's government. The war mostly consisted of Taliban insurgencies fighting against the Afghan Armed Forces and allied forces; the majority of ISAF/RS soldiers and personnel are American. The war was code-named by the US as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Freedom's Sentinel.

In 2001 an international coalition led by the USA invaded Afghanistan to destroy terrorist organisation Al-Qaeda when the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden. British forces went in alongside US troops. At the height of the conflict there were more than 130,000 NATO troops on the ground. By July 2021, nearly all NATO countries had fully withdrawn.
But, after 20 years of conflict, the Taliban again claim to be in control of Afghanistan.
In this video, we look at how the war in Afghanistan began, what Britain’s role was, and why the war lasted for 20 years.

On Sunday 15th August 2021, after an almost 20 year-long absence, the Taliban recaptured the Afghan capital city of Kabul. As the US-led coalition withdrew, the Taliban regrouped and began expanding outward once again. Facing little opposition from the Afghan National Army that had been trained and equipped by western forces, they only grew bolder and began an almost Blitzkrieg-style campaign to retake villages, towns, cities and then entire provinces until they were once again in near-total control of a land that has seemingly only known bloodshed for the better part of fifty years.
The story of the Taliban is the story of Afghanistan in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Cloaked in Islamic ideology that even many of the most prominent Muslim countries have largely moved on from, Afghanistan under the Taliban was always a land that resisted the influence of outsiders with tenacity, ferocity and always in blood. The attempts by the great powers of the world to bring Afghanistan more in-line culturally with the wider world perspective particularly concerning the treatment of women and the application of science and technology has presented an arena where the tools of the modern world have waged battles with the determination of the old. Yet almost every foreign power that has gotten involved with Afghanistan has ultimately failed in its mission there hence, Afghanistan becoming known as the graveyard of empires.
In this the first part of a two-part special, we are going to examine the modern history of Afghanistan, investigate the origins and ideology of the Taliban and chart their rise and fall and then return to power. This is the Taliban’s Story. Welcome to Wars of the World.

Afghanistan under the Taliban | DW Documentary
Despite the Taliban’s promises of peace and stability, Afghanistan is on its knees. When the militant Islamists took Kabul a year ago, life changed dramatically, especially for women.
Our reporters travel to Afghanistan to find out what life is like under Taliban rule. In a small village in the rural province of Maidan Wardak, they meet Dr. Roshanak. She used to be a member of parliament and always worked to maintain cordial relations with the Taliban.
In the capital Kabul, our reporters spend time with Aisha, who used to work for a UN project and dreamed of a career in politics. Now she feels “like a prisoner”.
They also meet the desperate potters of Istalif, whose business crumbles under the worsening economic crisis. And they encounter members of the Taliban who blame the West for hu...

What was the purpose of America's longest war?
Subscribe and turn on notifications (🔔) so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took over Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. The Afghan president fled the country. Almost all of Afghanistan is now under Taliban control. It marks the end of an era: America’s longest war is now over, and it lost. And it happened fast, stunning the world and leaving many in the country racing to find an exit.
But even among those surprised by the way the end played out, many knew the war was destined to end badly. According to some experts, the seeds of disaster were planted back at the war’s very beginning.
Ever since the American war in Afghanistan began in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the US government has strugg...

The Polarising Tyrant Who Shaped Afghanistan | History Documentary
I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: https://leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan
For many Islamic countries, the 19th century was a period of trying to survive European imperialism. Powers such as Britain spread the tentacles of its empire across the globe, subjugating disparate lands and peoples. In Central Asia, landlocked Afghanistan was at the prey of not one but two imperial powers, as Russia and Britain contested their Great Game. Emerging from this chaotic backdrop was an Afghan leader who through sheer will and cunning would ensure that Afghanistan, unlike so many other Islamic territories, would avoid the fate...

Afghanistan Explained: The war that never ends
In 38 years, Afghanistan has gone from being the downfall of the Soviet Union to the longest war in US history. In that time, the people have endured a brutal civil war, the rise of the Taliban, and a US-led invasion that continues to this day. This is an explainer on how the nation that helped end the Cold War is still mired in conflict nearly four decades later.

Kabul, An Open City to the West | Afghanistan: The Wounded Land – Part 1: Kingdom | Doc World
Present day Kabul is unlike the Afghanistan capital of the 1960s: the city could rival its European counterparts with residents enjoying lavish lifestyles. Kabul was also a travel destination for many in the West. This is the history of Afghanistan....
KINGDOM: In the '60s, the king opened Afghanistan to the world. But the country was profoundly divided between the westernized elite and the traditional, poor majority. When communists seized power in 1978, a never-ending war began. WATCH: https://bit.ly/DW_Afghanistan_Kingdom

The United States has lifted a $10 million bounty on Taliban leader Sirajuddin Haqqani, this according to the Afghan Interior Ministry. While despite the announcement, the bounty is still listed on the FBI website. According to the FBI, Haqqani had coordinated and participated in cross-border attacks against the United States and Coalition forces in Afghanistan. With this move, there is currently no living Afghan Taliban leader that carries a US bounty on their head anymore. Watch this report for more details!

Despite the Taliban’s promises of peace and stability, Afghanistan is on its knees. When the militant Islamists took Kabul a year ago, life changed dramatically, especially for women.
Our reporters travel to Afghanistan to find out what life is like under Taliban rule. In a small village in the rural province of Maidan Wardak, they meet Dr. Roshanak. She used to be a member of parliament and always worked to maintain cordial relations with the Taliban.
In the capital Kabul, our reporters spend time with Aisha, who used to work for a UN project and dreamed of a career in politics. Now she feels “like a prisoner”.
They also meet the desperate potters of Istalif, whose business crumbles under the worsening economic crisis. And they encounter members of the Taliban who blame the West for hunger and poverty.
Their return to power is the result of America’s longest war, which started barely a month after the September 11 attacks in 2001.

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took over Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. The Afghan president fled the country. Almost all of Afghanistan is now under Taliban control. It marks the end of an era: America’s longest war is now over, and it lost. And it happened fast, stunning the world and leaving many in the country racing to find an exit.
But even among those surprised by the way the end played out, many knew the war was destined to end badly. According to some experts, the seeds of disaster were planted back at the war’s very beginning.
Ever since the American war in Afghanistan began in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the US government has struggled with answering exactly why the military was there. In the very beginning the goal was relatively clear: to capture the perpetrator of the attacks, Osama bin Laden. But almost immediately, the goals became murkier, and more complicated.
In this video, investigative reporter Azmat Khan and former US ambassador to Afghanistan Michael McKinley explain what the US military was actually doing in Afghanistan, what it got wrong, and why America’s long intervention there is considered a failure.
Some of the sources we used in our reporting:
This report from Brown University’s Cost of War project has good data on how many Afghan civilians have beem killed in airstrikes:
https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/2020/Rising%20Civilian%20Death%20Toll%20in%20Afghanistan_Costs%20of%20War_Dec%207%202020.pdf
The comparison of American attitudes towards the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are from Gallup polls:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/1633/iraq.aspx
https://news.gallup.com/poll/167471/americans-view-afghanistan-war-mistake.aspx
This annual report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan reconstruction provided us with a lot of information on US money and resources spent on Afghanistan since the start of the war:
https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/lessonslearned/SIGAR-21-46-LL.pdf
The Long War Journal’s maps on Taliban control helped us visualize how they gained ground over time: https://www.longwarjournal.org/mapping-taliban-control-in-afghanistan

What was the purpose of America's longest war?

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took over Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. The Afghan president fled the country. Almost all of Afghanistan is now under Taliban control. It marks the end of an era: America’s longest war is now over, and it lost. And it happened fast, stunning the world and leaving many in the country racing to find an exit.
But even among those surprised by the way the end played out, many knew the war was destined to end badly. According to some experts, the seeds of disaster were planted back at the war’s very beginning.
Ever since the American war in Afghanistan began in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the US government has struggled with answering exactly why the military was there. In the very beginning the goal was relatively clear: to capture the perpetrator of the attacks, Osama bin Laden. But almost immediately, the goals became murkier, and more complicated.
In this video, investigative reporter Azmat Khan and former US ambassador to Afghanistan Michael McKinley explain what the US military was actually doing in Afghanistan, what it got wrong, and why America’s long intervention there is considered a failure.
Some of the sources we used in our reporting:
This report from Brown University’s Cost of War project has good data on how many Afghan civilians have beem killed in airstrikes:
https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/2020/Rising%20Civilian%20Death%20Toll%20in%20Afghanistan_Costs%20of%20War_Dec%207%202020.pdf
The comparison of American attitudes towards the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are from Gallup polls:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/1633/iraq.aspx
https://news.gallup.com/poll/167471/americans-view-afghanistan-war-mistake.aspx
This annual report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan reconstruction provided us with a lot of information on US money and resources spent on Afghanistan since the start of the war:
https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/lessonslearned/SIGAR-21-46-LL.pdf
The Long War Journal’s maps on Taliban control helped us visualize how they gained ground over time: https://www.longwarjournal.org/mapping-taliban-control-in-afghanistan

I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: https://leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan
For many Islamic countries, the 19th century was a period of trying to survive European imperialism. Powers such as Britain spread the tentacles of its empire across the globe, subjugating disparate lands and peoples. In Central Asia, landlocked Afghanistan was at the prey of not one but two imperial powers, as Russia and Britain contested their Great Game. Emerging from this chaotic backdrop was an Afghan leader who through sheer will and cunning would ensure that Afghanistan, unlike so many other Islamic territories, would avoid the fate of colonisation. If Amir Abdur Rahman Khan had lived in a different age, he probably would’ve campaigned into India or Iran. But the world had changed. Hemmed in by the borders established for him by the colonial powers, the Amir went to work on forcefully knitting his nation together into a cohesive unit under the purview of his government. Abdur Rahman Khan, whose name is still associated with brutality, would leave hundreds of thousands of Afghans dead in his quest to centralise the administration of the country. But with his country under constant existential threat, the man known as the Iron Amir would’ve felt vindicated of his heavy-handedness.

In 38 years, Afghanistan has gone from being the downfall of the Soviet Union to the longest war in US history. In that time, the people have endured a brutal civil war, the rise of the Taliban, and a US-led invasion that continues to this day. This is an explainer on how the nation that helped end the Cold War is still mired in conflict nearly four decades later.

Present day Kabul is unlike the Afghanistan capital of the 1960s: the city could rival its European counterparts with residents enjoying lavish lifestyles. Kabul was also a travel destination for many in the West. This is the history of Afghanistan....
KINGDOM: In the '60s, the king opened Afghanistan to the world. But the country was profoundly divided between the westernized elite and the traditional, poor majority. When communists seized power in 1978, a never-ending war began. WATCH: https://bit.ly/DW_Afghanistan_Kingdom
Narrated by author Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner), AFGHANISTAN: THE WOUNDED LAND looks at six decades of Afghan history through the eyes of warriors and civilians, men and women. Their memories of the Golden Age, Soviet occupation, Taliban regime, and 9/11 open new perspectives into the once peaceful Afghanistan, its people and its destiny. The four-part documentary grants new insight into what went tragically wrong in the past...and what future is being hoped for.

When international troops withdrew in 2021, the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan. The ‘forever war’ was over. But this documentary shows how western military forces were misled or acted on insufficient intelligence -- with fatal consequences for the Afghan civilians they were sent to protect.
The documentary "Winning Hearts and Minds” shows how western forces were deliberately misled and in many cases acted on the basis of inadequate information. The results were a disaster for the Afghan population.
In 2006, when Danish and British troops were deployed to Musa Qala in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, the mission was clear. They were to defend their allies, the local police forces, against Taliban insurgents. But this plan was based on a misconception. While the local police in Musa Qala were seen as the allies of the West in the fight for democracy and human rights, in reality they supported a brutal and murderous drug cartel.
Filmmakers Martin Tamm Andersen and Nagieb Khaja uncover this scandal, as well as the local police’s alliance with the brutal brothers Koka and Issa Khan. The filmmakers also examine a corrupt ex-governor’s hold over the Musa Qala police and how this man exploited western involvement to help his drug trade. Musa Qala eventually fell to the Taliban, as the population faced a choice between a ruthless drug cartel and an extremist regime.
The film reveals the tragic betrayal of the international mission that ultimately left an entire country in chaos.

I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: https://leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan
For many Islamic countries, the 19th century was a period of trying to survive European imperialism. Powers such as Britain spread the tentacles of its empire across the globe, subjugating disparate lands and peoples. In Central Asia, landlocked Afghanistan was at the prey of not one but two imperial powers, as Russia and Britain contested their Great Game. Emerging from this chaotic backdrop was an Afghan leader who through sheer will and cunning would ensure that Afghanistan, unlike so many other Islamic territories, would avoid the fate of colonisation. If Amir Abdur Rahman Khan had lived in a different age, he probably would’ve campaigned into India or Iran. But the world had changed. Hemmed in by the borders established for him by the colonial powers, the Amir went to work on forcefully knitting his nation together into a cohesive unit under the purview of his government. Abdur Rahman Khan, whose name is still associated with brutality, would leave hundreds of thousands of Afghans dead in his quest to centralise the administration of the country. But with his country under constant existential threat, the man known as the Iron Amir would’ve felt vindicated of his heavy-handedness.

Sergio Miller’s new detailed account of the British military campaign in Afghanistan is based on the experiences of those who served. In this narrative, he explores how the conflict evolved and developed over time, from the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and the initial invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 through to the withdrawal in 2014.
His talk will delve into the major episodes of the conflict and explore the challenges and successes the British Army faced, from the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to the major advancements in kit and equipment. The War in Afghanistan has had a lasting impact on the Army and the role it plays in the world.
About the speaker
Sergio Miller is a former officer in the Intelligence Corps. For the last 25 years, he has worked in the defence industry and, until three years ago, continued to serve in the Army Reserve. He has written articles for the British Army Review and the Wavell Room, and is the author of a two-part history of the Vietnam War: ‘In Good Faith’ and ‘No Wider War’. He is currently working on an account of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

The War in Afghanistan stems from the United States invasion of Afghanistan on 7 October 2001, when the United States of America and its allies successfully drove the Taliban from power in order to deny Al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan. Since the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries formed a security mission in the country called International Security Assistance Force in 2014), of which certain members were involved in military combat allied with Afghanistan's government. The war has afterwards mostly consisted of Taliban insurgents fighting against the Afghan Armed Forces and allied forces; the majority of ISAF/RS soldiers and personnel are American. The war is code named by the US as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Freedom's Sentinel ; it is the longest war in US history.

The War in Afghanistan (2001–present) refers to the intervention by North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and allied forces in the ongoing Afghan civil war. The war followed the September 11 attacks, and its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and denying it a safe basis of operation in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power.
U.S. President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda. The Taliban asked bin Laden to leave the country, but declined to extradite him without evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The United States refused to negotiate and launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance. The U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military bases near major cities across the country. Most al-Qaeda and Taliban were not captured, escaping to neighboring Pakistan or retreating to rural or remote mountainous regions.[citation needed]
In December 2001, the United Nations Security Council established the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), to oversee military operations in the country and train Afghan National Security Forces. At the Bonn Conference in December 2001, Hamid Karzai was selected to head the Afghan Interim Administration, which after a 2002 loya jirga in Kabul became the Afghan Transitional Administration. In the popular elections of 2004, Karzai was elected president of the country, now named the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
In 2003, NATO assumed leadership of ISAF, with troops from 43 countries. NATO members provided the core of the force. One portion of U.S. forces in Afghanistan operated under NATO command; the rest remained under direct U.S. command. Taliban leader Mullah Omar reorganized the movement and in 2003 launched an insurgency against the government and ISAF.
Though vastly outgunned and outnumbered, the Taliban insurgents, most notably the Haqqani Network and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, have waged asymmetric warfare with guerilla raids and ambushes in the countryside, suicide attacks against urban targets and turncoat killings against coalition forces. The Taliban exploited weaknesses in the Afghan government, among the most corrupt in the world, to reassert influence across rural areas of southern and eastern Afghanistan. ISAF responded in 2006 by increasing troops for counterinsurgency operations to "clear and hold" villages and "nation building" projects to "win hearts and minds".
While ISAF continued to battle the Taliban insurgency, fighting crossed into neighboring North-West Pakistan. In 2004, the Pakistani Army began to clash with local tribes hosting al-Qaeda and Taliban militants. The US military launched drone attacks in Pakistan to kill insurgent leaders. This resulted in the start of an insurgency in Waziristan in 2007.
On 2 May 2011, United States Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in Abbotabad, Pakistan. In May 2012, NATO leaders endorsed an exit strategy for withdrawing their forces. UN-backed peace talks have since taken place between the Afghan government and the Taliban. In May 2014, the United States announced that its combat operations would end in 2014, leaving just a small residual force in the country until the end of 2016.
As of 2013, tens of thousands of people had been killed in the war. Over 4,000 ISAF soldiers and civilian contractors as well as over 10,000 Afghan National Security Forces had been killed.

Thirteen years of British soldiers in Afghanistan told through the stories of thirteen lives lost. The Telegraph looks at some of the tributes as we remember all 453 British service personnel killed in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014.
The US began bombing Afghanistan less than 30 days after the Twin Towers in New York were razed to the ground.
On 2 October, 2001, Britain pledged to join the fight and just over six months later, Pt Darren George, a 23-year-old father, became the first British serviceman killed in the conflict.
Capt James Philippson, 29, was also among the first infrequent deaths in the early years of the war. He was killed by while rescuing ambushed service personnel without mission-essential kit.
His death prompted a row over insufficient and poorly maintained resources that would plague the rest of the conflict and seriously damage public perception of the war.
The death of Capt David Patton, 38, in 2006 ushered in a new phase, the Siege of Sangin, which became the most intense period of British fighting.
FS Adrian Davies was killed weeks later in the first of a series of accidents that claimed dozens of British lives. His Nimrod plane crashed in Kandahar, killing a crew of 14 service personnel aged between 22 and 49.
Each of their deaths - and nine more - are remembered in the video above as moments in the War in Afghanistan that represent the 453 British service personnel killed between 2001 and 2014.

The War in Afghanistan is a conflict following the 2001 United States invasion of Afghanistan when the United States and its allies drove the Taliban from power in order to deny al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan. After the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries formed a security mission in the country called International Security Assistance Force in 2014) of which certain members were involved in military combat allied with Afghanistan's government. The war mostly consisted of Taliban insurgencies fighting against the Afghan Armed Forces and allied forces; the majority of ISAF/RS soldiers and personnel are American. The war was code-named by the US as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Freedom's Sentinel.
In 2001 an international coalition led by the USA invaded Afghanistan to destroy terrorist organisation Al-Qaeda when the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden. British forces went in alongside US troops. At the height of the conflict there were more than 130,000 NATO troops on the ground. By July 2021, nearly all NATO countries had fully withdrawn.
But, after 20 years of conflict, the Taliban again claim to be in control of Afghanistan.
In this video, we look at how the war in Afghanistan began, what Britain’s role was, and why the war lasted for 20 years.

On Sunday 15th August 2021, after an almost 20 year-long absence, the Taliban recaptured the Afghan capital city of Kabul. As the US-led coalition withdrew, the Taliban regrouped and began expanding outward once again. Facing little opposition from the Afghan National Army that had been trained and equipped by western forces, they only grew bolder and began an almost Blitzkrieg-style campaign to retake villages, towns, cities and then entire provinces until they were once again in near-total control of a land that has seemingly only known bloodshed for the better part of fifty years.
The story of the Taliban is the story of Afghanistan in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Cloaked in Islamic ideology that even many of the most prominent Muslim countries have largely moved on from, Afghanistan under the Taliban was always a land that resisted the influence of outsiders with tenacity, ferocity and always in blood. The attempts by the great powers of the world to bring Afghanistan more in-line culturally with the wider world perspective particularly concerning the treatment of women and the application of science and technology has presented an arena where the tools of the modern world have waged battles with the determination of the old. Yet almost every foreign power that has gotten involved with Afghanistan has ultimately failed in its mission there hence, Afghanistan becoming known as the graveyard of empires.
In this the first part of a two-part special, we are going to examine the modern history of Afghanistan, investigate the origins and ideology of the Taliban and chart their rise and fall and then return to power. This is the Taliban’s Story. Welcome to Wars of the World.

History Should Never Be Forgotten...
The War in Afghanistan (2001–present) refers to the intervention by North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and allied forces in the ongoing Afghan civil war. The war followed the September 11 attacks, and its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and denying it a safe basis of operation in Afghanistan[22][23] by removing the Taliban from power.
U.S. President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda. The Taliban requested that bin Laden leave the country, but declined to extradite him without evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The United States refused to negotiate and launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance.[24][25] The U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military bases near major cities across the country. Most al-Qaeda and Taliban were not captured, escaping to neighboring Pakistan or retreating to rural or remote mountainous regions.
In December 2001, the United Nations Security Council established the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), to oversee military operations in the country and train Afghan National Security Forces. At the Bonn Conference in December 2001, Hamid Karzai was selected to head the Afghan Interim Administration, which after a 2002 loya jirga in Kabul became the Afghan Transitional Administration. In the popular elections of 2004, Karzai was elected president of the country, now named the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.[26]
In 2003, NATO assumed leadership of ISAF, with troops from 43 countries. NATO members provided the core of the force.[27] One portion of U.S. forces in Afghanistan operated under NATO command; the rest remained under direct American command. Taliban leader Mullah Omar reorganized the movement and in 2003 launched an insurgency against the government and ISAF.[28][29]
Though vastly outgunned and outnumbered, the Taliban insurgents, most notably the Haqqani Network and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, have waged asymmetric warfare with guerilla raids and ambushes in the countryside, suicide attacks against urban targets and turncoat killings against coalition forces. The Taliban exploited weaknesses in the Afghan government, among the most corrupt in the world, to reassert influence across rural areas of southern and eastern Afghanistan. ISAF responded in 2006 by increasing troops for counterinsurgency operations to "clear and hold" villages and "nation building" projects to "win hearts and minds".[30][31]
While ISAF continued to battle the Taliban insurgency, fighting crossed into neighboring North-West Pakistan.[32] In 2004, the Pakistani Army began to clash with local tribes hosting al-Qaeda and Taliban militants. The US military launched drone attacks in Pakistan to kill insurgent leaders. This resulted in the start of an insurgency in Waziristan in 2007.
On 2 May 2011, United States Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden in Abbotabad, Pakistan. In May 2012, NATO leaders endorsed an exit strategy for withdrawing their forces. UN-backed peace talks have since taken place between the Afghan government and the Taliban.[33] In May 2014, the United States announced that its combat operations would end in 2014, leaving just a small residual force in the country until the end of 2016.[34]
As of 2013, tens of thousands of people had been killed in the war. Over 4,000 ISAF soldiers and civilian contractors as well as over 10,000 Afghan National Security Forces had been killed.[

The United States has lifted a $10 million bounty on Taliban leader Sirajuddin Haqqani, this according to the Afghan Interior Ministry. While despite the announcement, the bounty is still listed on the FBI website. According to the FBI, Haqqani had coordinated and participated in cross-border attacks against the United States and Coalition forces in Afghanistan. With this move, there is currently no living Afghan Taliban leader that carries a US bounty on their head anymore. Watch this report for more details!

Despite the Taliban’s promises of peace and stability, Afghanistan is on its knees. When the militant Islamists took Kabul a year ago, life changed dramatically, especially for women.
Our reporters travel to Afghanistan to find out what life is like under Taliban rule. In a small village in the rural province of Maidan Wardak, they meet Dr. Roshanak. She used to be a member of parliament and always worked to maintain cordial relations with the Taliban.
In the capital Kabul, our reporters spend time with Aisha, who used to work for a UN project and dreamed of a career in politics. Now she feels “like a prisoner”.
They also meet the desperate potters of Istalif, whose business crumbles under the worsening economic crisis. And they encounter members of the Taliban who blame the West for hunger and poverty.
Their return to power is the result of America’s longest war, which started barely a month after the September 11 attacks in 2001.

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took over Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. The Afghan president fled the country. Almost all of Afghanistan is now under Taliban control. It marks the end of an era: America’s longest war is now over, and it lost. And it happened fast, stunning the world and leaving many in the country racing to find an exit.
But even among those surprised by the way the end played out, many knew the war was destined to end badly. According to some experts, the seeds of disaster were planted back at the war’s very beginning.
Ever since the American war in Afghanistan began in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the US government has struggled with answering exactly why the military was there. In the very beginning the goal was relatively clear: to capture the perpetrator of the attacks, Osama bin Laden. But almost immediately, the goals became murkier, and more complicated.
In this video, investigative reporter Azmat Khan and former US ambassador to Afghanistan Michael McKinley explain what the US military was actually doing in Afghanistan, what it got wrong, and why America’s long intervention there is considered a failure.
Some of the sources we used in our reporting:
This report from Brown University’s Cost of War project has good data on how many Afghan civilians have beem killed in airstrikes:

The comparison of American attitudes towards the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are from Gallup polls:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/1633/iraq.aspx
https://news.gallup.com/poll/167471/americans-view-afghanistan-war-mistake.aspx
This annual report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan reconstruction provided us with a lot of information on US money and resources spent on Afghanistan since the start of the war:

I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: https://leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan
For many Islamic countries, the 19th century was a period of trying to survive European imperialism. Powers such as Britain spread the tentacles of its empire across the globe, subjugating disparate lands and peoples. In Central Asia, landlocked Afghanistan was at the prey of not one but two imperial powers, as Russia and Britain contested their Great Game. Emerging from this chaotic backdrop was an Afghan leader who through sheer will and cunning would ensure that Afghanistan, unlike so many other Islamic territories, would avoid the fate of colonisation. If Amir Abdur Rahman Khan had lived in a different age, he probably would’ve campaigned into India or Iran. But the world had changed. Hemmed in by the borders established for him by the colonial powers, the Amir went to work on forcefully knitting his nation together into a cohesive unit under the purview of his government. Abdur Rahman Khan, whose name is still associated with brutality, would leave hundreds of thousands of Afghans dead in his quest to centralise the administration of the country. But with his country under constant existential threat, the man known as the Iron Amir would’ve felt vindicated of his heavy-handedness.

In 38 years, Afghanistan has gone from being the downfall of the Soviet Union to the longest war in US history. In that time, the people have endured a brutal civil war, the rise of the Taliban, and a US-led invasion that continues to this day. This is an explainer on how the nation that helped end the Cold War is still mired in conflict nearly four decades later.

سباوون مومند در این نمایش به دروازه تورخم مرز افغانستان با پاکستان در ولایت ننگرهار افغانستان رفته است

Present day Kabul is unlike the Afghanistan capital of the 1960s: the city could rival its European counterparts with residents enjoying lavish lifestyles. Kabul was also a travel destination for many in the West. This is the history of Afghanistan....
KINGDOM: In the '60s, the king opened Afghanistan to the world. But the country was profoundly divided between the westernized elite and the traditional, poor majority. When communists seized power in 1978, a never-ending war began. WATCH: https://bit.ly/DW_Afghanistan_Kingdom
Narrated by author Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner), AFGHANISTAN: THE WOUNDED LAND looks at six decades of Afghan history through the eyes of warriors and civilians, men and women. Their memories of the Golden Age, Soviet occupation, Taliban regime, and 9/11 open new perspectives into the once peaceful Afghanistan, its people and its destiny. The four-part documentary grants new insight into what went tragically wrong in the past...and what future is being hoped for.
