Kabul: War in Afghanistan – Launched on October 7, 2001 after the September 11 attack – is the longest ever done by the United States.
Here are some key figures about conflict with us and foreign troops who have all but withdrawn from Afghanistan: At its peak, under President Barack Obama in 2011, the United States has 98,000 personnel in the field, according to the Pentagon Figure.
The NATO Alliance of 38 countries is committed to Afghan conflict in December 2001, but the United States always provides the largest military contingent.
In February 2020, when Washington signed a contract with the Taliban committed to attracting his troops, the Pentagon estimated that around 14,000 remained in the country.
On May 1, 2021 – the original deadline for withdrawal, was pushed back to September 11 by the new President Joe Biden – there were around 9,500 foreign troops in Afghanistan, where American forces formed the largest contingent of 2,500.
Only more than 38,000 civilians were killed between 2009 and the end of 2020, according to the UN assistance mission in Afghanistan, which began to record civilian casualties systematically in 2009.
The deadliest year was 2018.
More than 70,000 others were injured in the same period.
In the past three years, more than 395,800 Afghans have been moved, said the refugee and repatriation ministries.
The United States has paid the highest price in terms of foreign death in Afghanistan, with more than 2,400 military personnel killed and more than 20,700 injured.
As for other members of the NATO coalition, England lost the second highest number of personnel, with 455 dead, according to Icasualties.org, which monitored the dead and injured in conflict such as Afghanistan.
The Afghan government no longer published data for losses in its troops, which was significant, but President Ashraf Ghani in 2019 said more than 45,000 members of the state security forces were killed since 2014, when he became a leader.
As of September 30, 2019, the Pentagon officially estimated US operating costs in Afghanistan at $ 776 billion since 2001.
Of the total, $ 197.3 billion was intended for the reconstruction of the country hit by war and its institutions.
But according to a study by Brown University, the cost of American war exceeds the estimate of the Pentagon, because the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not taken into account, there is also no intelligence operation or medical expenses from injured veterans.
Factoring in all these costs, Brown’s researchers said the “war against terror” in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan since 2001 had a cost of $ 6.4 trillion.
Before being overthrown in 2001, the Taliban prohibited the girls from learning and stoned with the death of a woman accused of committing crimes such as adultery.
The Ministry of Education Afghanistan said there were now around 9.7 million children registered at school, 42 percent of them women.
At present there are 18,000 active schools throughout the country, up from 3,000 two decades ago.
There were 68 female parliamentarians in the Afghan Parliament, around 30 percent of the house down.
Over the past two decades, women also hold political positions and senior governments such as Senators, ministers and governors.
Between 2003 and 2018, infant mortality fell from 53 to 23 per 1,000 live births, according to the World Bank.
