Billions of dollars were spent during 20 years of war in Afghanistan when thousands of people of the forces of many countries have served, and now this war is in its end-to-day stages. What happened to these two decades? What was the damage to the United States, and what was the benefit? Let's take a review.
Foreign soldiers on the land of Afghanistan.
America's war against terrorism in Afghanistan started on September 7, 2001, after the attacks of September 11, 2001, and it is a long-term war in the United States' history.
According to the US Department of Defense Pentagon's figure, the US war was in the era of Barack Obama's time in the government of Afghanistan; about 98,000 American soldiers were deployed in Afghanistan. Later it was reduced, and now the soldiers are in the last stages.
In December 2001, NATO, a military alliance of 38 countries, also joined the United States in this war, but the number of foreign troops in Afghanistan remained the highest.
According to the Pentagon, in February 2020, when the United States signed a peace deal for the military inquiry with the Taliban, 14,000 American soldiers were present in Afghanistan.
According to the May 1, 2021 peace agreement, the first deadline for military withdrawal was increased by US President Joe Biden on September 11, 2021. By that time, there were nine thousand 500 foreign soldiers in Afghanistan in which the number of American soldiers was 2500.
Loss of Afghan citizen's
According to the United Nations support mission in Afghanistan, more than 38,000 Afghan citizens were killed between 2009 and 2020 and were all civilians. During this period, 70 thousand people were also injured. The data on civilian deaths were compiled from 2009. The most common civilian deaths were recorded in 2018. According to the Afghan ministry of refugees and repatriated citizens, more than 3,95,000 citizens have been forced to migrate in the last three years.
Loss of us and allied forces
During the Afghan war, America suffered the biggest loss of its soldiers from outside the country. Since the beginning of the Afghan war, more than 2400 American soldiers have been killed, and more than 20,000 have been injured.
According to the website I casualty, which records the number of casualties and injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq, the second-highest casualty was in Britain. 455 British soldiers were killed in the Afghan war.
On the other hand, the Afghan government did not issue any data of his security personnel. However, Ashraf Ghana said in his statement in 2019 that in 2014 he was able to spend more than 45,000 Afghan security officials since he became an Afghan President

How expensive was the Afghan war?
The pentagon estimated our operations in Afghanistan at $776 billion by September 30, 2019. Of this, $197 billion has been spent on rebuilding Afghanistan and restoring institutions. According to a study by the United States of America, the costs incurred by the United States' wars are more than the estimates given by the pentagon.
The pentagon data did not include assistance from the US department of state, nor did the expenditure on intelligence operations and treatment of injured soldiers.
Adding all these costs, researchers of 'Brown University have set up 64 billion estimates of US $151 in the US and the war of Afghanistan against US terrorism.
What is the change?
According to observers, before this war in America, the Taliban had stopped girls from studying in Afghanistan, and women were given severe penalties for crimes. But when the Taliban went to power, there were many social changes in Afghanistan. It was easy for artists and women.
According to the Afghan ministry of education, about 97 million children are now studying in schools, of which 42 percent are girls. Two decades ago, there were only three thousand schools, while 18,000 schools are now active.
68 women are legal lawyers in the Afghan parliament that become 30% of the lower house. Women have been posted to high political and government positions in the last two decades, including senators, ministers, and governors.
According to the World Bank, during the year 2003, the nominal children's deaths have also decreased clearly.
But now, the area living in the Afghan government's control after the investigation of the United States and the coalition forces are going to the Taliban. Taliban have got control over dozens of districts, and the Afghan forces have to take over.
In the changing situation, the future of Afghanistan is not clear. Afghan citizens fear that either civil war will start or after the ink or the Taliban will start implementing hard-term policies.
