The US military mission in Afghanistan will end on August 31, President Joe Biden announced Thursday 08 July 2021, as Afghan commandos battled the Taliban for control of a provincial capital in the most brazen assault by the militants since Washington stepped up its troop withdrawal.
Nearly 20 years after it invaded in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the US military has “achieved” its goals in the country by killing Osama bin Laden, degrading Al-Qaeda and preventing more attacks on the United States.
This was an effort to end a deadly conflict that has cost trillion of dollars and the lives of more than 2,300 American Troops.
