| Kivonat: | The american war in Afghanistan lasted the better part of twenty years, form 2001 all the way to 2021, when, under president Joseph Biden’s orders, all american troops left the afghan soil, as a continuation of the plan previous US president, Donald J. Trump initiated. The original goal of Afghanistan’s invasion was to rid the country of all forms of terrorism, mainly the organization of Al Qa’eda, which operated from Afghanistan, while the body of governance at the time, the Taliban were fully aware of this. While originally there were attemps of resolving the matter in a non-violent manner, no agreeable solution was found, so came the attack from overseas. Even though the original offensive lasted around two months, after when the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Omar ordered cessation of all resistance, american troops were nowhere near leaving the country, as their goal of eradicating terrorism was made unachievable due to the fact, that they were unable to separate the seemingly symbiotic groups of Al Qa’eda and the Taliban. After targeting remaining, but most of the time ex-Taliban members, and forcing them out to either the peripheral areas of the country, or even abroad, predominantly to Pakistan, the US became bent on an objective which would eventually lead to their failure. This objective was none other than rebuilding the contry, and replacing the regime, which seemed opressive, and brutal to spectators from the west. This objective failed to take into account the religious, traditional, ancestral and probably more important than all the previous ones, tribal differences the people of Afghanistan posessed. Looking back, the attempt at exporting democracy to a country, on the other side of the world was faulty from the beginning. The nation building was sabotaged by other ongoing conflicts of the US, drawing attention and resources away from Afghanistan, and its people, who, when the Taliban started its counteroffensive, would rather prioritize their own family or community, as opposed to working together with other tribesmen, and giving themselves a chance of victory. |
