“Wednesday marked the first anniversary of the end of the U.S. war in Afghanistan,” writes Ali A. Olomi, assistant professor of history at Loyola Marymount University, in the Washington Post. “The longest foreign war in U.S. history came to a close with a chaotic withdrawal that left the country in the hands of the Taliban and confronting a brewing humanitarian crisis. Despite militarily withdrawing, the United States continues to pursue a policy of financially starving Afghanistan of desperately needed funds in an attempt to force the Taliban to reduce its repression — especially of women — as well as its support for terrorism.”
