Biden Lauds Service of 'Generations of Brave Women and Men' in Afghanistan

US President Joe Biden, on August 21, the second anniversary of the end of the US troop pullout from Afghanistan, said that the United States ended nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan.

In a statement from President Biden on the "Second Anniversary of Ending the Afghanistan War," released by the White House, Biden stated that US will also continue to support the Afghan people.

The statement the US is the largest single donor of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan.

“Two years ago, the United States ended nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan— the longest war in American history. Today, we pause to remember the selfless service of generations of brave women and men over the course of the conflict—who, time and time again, sacrificed their own safety and security for that of their fellow Americans. That includes the 2,461 US service members who made the ultimate sacrifice, and 20,744 of their brother-and-sisters-in-arms who were wounded in action. We have demonstrated that we do not need a permanent troop presence on the ground in harm’s way to take action against terrorists and those who wish to do us harm,” the statement reads.

"The good thing was that before they left Afghanistan, the government did not fall, the process for recognition was in place, and the economic situation was favorable, which contributed to Afghanistan's development. However, they left without taking any responsibility, which is a great shame for them. They shouldn't have done this,” said Moin Gul Samkanai, a political analyst.

US House of Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul once more criticized the withdrawal of the American troops from Afghanistan.

“A true leader when they make mistakes, they own it and they take responsibility and they show accountability ... what these family members want is transparency and accountability, and yet this administration keeps trying to sweep it under the rug, and they don’t want to talk about it,” McCaul told FOX News.

Meanwhile, the acting Minister of Mines and Petroleum, Shahabuddin Delavar, said that August 31 is a historical day and the Afghans have achieved victory with great sacrifice.

“Thank God, we achieved this freedom through the sacrifice of the nation,” Delawar said.

The Doha Agreement was signed between the Islamic Emirate and the US on 29 February 2020 in Doha, Qatar, which included the planned withdrawal of US and foreign forces.
