US President Joe Biden announced on 14 April that he plans to withdraw the remaining 2,500 US troops from Afghanistan before 11 September, almost 20 years after the Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on the United States that resulted in the country engaging in its longest-running war.

“After consulting with our allies and partners, with our military leaders and intelligence personnel, with our diplomats and our development experts, with the [US] Congress and the vice president, as well as with [Afghan President] Mr [Ashraf] Ghani and many others around the world, I’ve concluded that it is time to end America’s longest war. It is time for American troops to come home,” said Biden in a televised address from the White House.

Ten years after the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, “our reasons for remaining in Afghanistan have become increasingly unclear, even as the terrorist threat that we went to fight evolved”, said the US president.
