Last US Troops Leave Afghanistan Ending 20-Year War: Pentagon
The withdrawal of the US troops preceded the finish of August 31.
Washington: The US military has finished its withdrawal from Afghanistan to end a
merciless 20-year war - one that began and finished with the hardline Islamist Taliban in
power, notwithstanding billions of dollars spent attempting to modify the contention
wracked country.
Celebratory gunfire rang out in Kabul in the early long periods of Tuesday, and thrilled
senior Taliban authorities hailed the occasion as a turning point.
The withdrawal came after the loaded last days of an unglued mission to empty huge
number of Americans and Afghans who had helped the US-drove war exertion - and
which left scores of Afghans and 13 US assembles dead a self destruction assault last
week.

2. That assault - guaranteed by the ISIS's Afghan branch - gave tense criticalness to the
dangerous US-drove global airdrop from Kabul, and furthermore uncovered the potential
inconveniences ahead for Afghanistan as the Taliban move to frame an administration
and really rule.
The last American officer to leave Afghanistan: Maj. Gen. Chris Donahue, ordering
general of the @82ndABNDiv, @18airbornecorps sheets a @usairforce C-17 on August
30th, 2021, finishing the U.S. mission in Kabul.
The withdrawal preceded the finish of August 31, the real cutoff time set by President Joe
Biden to call time on America's longest conflict - one that at last killed in excess of 2,400
US administration individuals.
"I'm here to declare the consummation of our withdrawal from Afghanistan and the finish
of the tactical mission to clear American residents," US General Kenneth McKenzie told
journalists Monday Washington time.
"Around evening time's withdrawal connotes both the finish of the tactical part of the
departure yet additionally the finish of the almost 20-year mission that started in
Afghanistan not long after September eleventh, 2001."
The last flight left at 1929 GMT Monday - not long before the beginning of Tuesday in
Kabul, he said.
Biden said he would address the country on Tuesday in Washington.
Taliban representative Zabihullah Mujahid said Afghanistan had "acquired full autonomy"
with the US withdrawal, and Anas Haqqani, a senior Taliban official, said he was
"pleased" to observe "these notable minutes".
AFP journalists in the city heard celebratory gunfire from a few Taliban designated spots,
just as the cheers of warriors monitoring security posts in the green zone.
Departure cut off
The re-visitation of force a fortnight prior of the Taliban development, which was
overturned in 2001 when the United States attacked in counter for the butchery on 9/11,
set off an enormous mass migration of individuals who dread another rendition of
hardline Islamist rule.
The departure flights have removed in excess of 123,000 individuals from Kabul air
terminal, as indicated by McKenzie, yet he conceded not every person who needed to

3. leave had the option to, and that the "strategic mission" to permit others to leave will
proceed.
How that interaction will unfurl is muddled.
The UN Security Council took on a goal Monday, requiring the Taliban to respect a pledge
to allow individuals unreservedly to leave Afghanistan in the near future, and to give
admittance to the UN and other guide organizations, yet didn't make a "protected zone"
in Kabul.
Yet, talks are progressing concerning who will presently run Kabul air terminal. The
Taliban have requested that Turkey handle coordinations while they keep up with control
of safety, yet President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has not yet acknowledged that
proposition.
Also, it was not promptly clear which carriers would consent to fly all through Kabul.
The local ISIS-K gathering, adversaries of the Taliban, represented the greatest danger to
the withdrawal when it did an overwhelming self destruction bombarding outside the air
terminal last week.
On Monday, they professed to have terminated six rockets at the air terminal. A Taliban
official said the assault was blocked by the air terminal's rocket safeguard frameworks.
An AFP picture taker saw an obliterated vehicle with a launcher framework still apparent
in the secondary lounge.
'Possible loss of blameless life'
The United States said Sunday it had done a robot strike against a vehicle undermining
the Kabul air terminal that had been connected to the provincial ISIS part - its second
focusing on IS-K as of late.
However, on Monday, it seemed as though they had perhaps committed an awful error.
Individuals from one family disclosed to AFP they accepted a lethal blunder had been
made, and that 10 regular folks were killed.
"My sibling and his four youngsters were killed. I lost my little girl.. nephews and nieces,"
Aimal Ahmadi told AFP.
A representative for US Central Command said Sunday that the US was "mindful of
reports of regular citizen losses" and was examining.

4. "We would be profoundly disheartened by any possible loss of guiltless life," he said.
As of late, the ISIS Afghanistan-Pakistan part has been answerable for probably the
deadliest assaults in those nations.
While both the ISIS and the Taliban are hardline Sunni Islamists, they are on occasion
likewise harsh adversaries - with each professing to be the genuine banner carriers of
jihad.
Conclusion of an important time period
The US military exertion in Afghanistan was slowing down without occurrence in front of
the August 31 cutoff time when Biden had to send 6,000 soldiers once more into Kabul
only fourteen days prior to get clearings as the Taliban bulldozed the nation over.
The triumph of the hardliners and the choice by removed Afghan president Ashraf Ghani
to escape the nation started alarm in Kabul, where a large number of Afghans ran to the
air terminal with expectations of leaving the Taliban-administered country.
A couple even clung to a US military airplane taking off in a frantic bid to escape - just to
tumble from the sky.
Everything considered, the US military spent more than $775 billion on tasks in
Afghanistan since 2001, as indicated by the most recent accessible information from
September 2019.
In any case, an investigation directed at Brown University recommends the all out could
be far higher, maybe besting $2.3 trillion.
