Afghanistan War Afghan War Wars in Afghanistan

The War in Afghanistan refers to the ongoing conflict beginning in 2001. Initially launched by the United States and its allies following the September 11 attacks, it aimed to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban regime harboring them from power. The war involved international coalition forces and Afghan security personnel against insurgents including the Taliban and other extremist groups. After two decades, U.S. troops withdrew in 2021, leading to a rapid Taliban takeover and the re-establishment of their government.
