Afghanistan Marks 25 Years Since US-Led Invasion

Original: Afghanistan: 25 Years Since the US-Led Invasion

It has been 25 years since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan that toppled the Taliban government in 2001. Human Rights Watch marked the anniversary, prompting renewed debate over the war's two-decade arc, the billions spent, and the Taliban's return to power in 2021. Commentators are reassessing what the intervention achieved for Afghans, particularly women and girls now facing severe rights restrictions.

Why now: The 25th anniversary of the invasion has prompted rights groups and commentators to reassess the war and its legacy.
