A Little History About Afghan War and What Started It


Taliban had control over the most of Afghanistan since 1996, but they were eradicated by both American and British Armed forces in November 2001; many of the Afghan fighters called Northern Alliance also took part in the war.

Why was a war in Afghanistan?


During the reign of the Taliban, an organization called Al-Qaeda was established by the group in Afghanistan; they set up different training camps in several parts of the country. In Sep 2001, there was a terrorist attack at Twins Tower USA, which resulted in 3000 deaths causalities. The US Government believed that the head of Al-Qaeda Osama Bin Laden is responsible for this act. The United States pressurized the Afghan Government to hand over Osama Bin Laden. But the Taliban didn’t agree to that, so the US military decided to act on its own. 

Thus, in Oct 2001, the US armed forces started to bomb different places in Afghanistan. Their targets were both Al-Qaeda of Bin-Laden and the Taliban. In November 2001, an inside group Northern Alliance also joined forces with US troops and other countries that were agreed to help, including the United Kingdom. It took control of the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul. Even though the Taliban group was eradicated from the capital still its ghosts haunt the place till today. Al Jazeera Arabic Live provided each and every detail about the Afghan War on its channel. 

Ten years after the war, in 2011, Osama was shot and killed by American forces in Pakistan; it was a covert operation consisted of very few soldiers.


However, after killing Bin Laden successfully, US troops and British forces didn’t leave the grounds immediately. They stayed there to help the Afghan Government in stabilizing the country. Even today, United States has a base there, which is a home of a few thousand soldiers. However, the country is in peace now, still, there are some small businesses yet to solve or taken care of.

It can allow a specific place to have the same time all over, except the fact that how greater in size that is, and it also doesn’t matter if the timing of the setting of the sun is different in different regions of that specific place.
