Milandu yaposachedwa yankhondo yaku US ku Afghanistan ikuphatikiza kutsata mwadala maphwando aukwati wamba ndi maliro, kutsekeredwa m'ndende popanda mlandu komanso kuzunzidwa kundende ya Bagram, kuphulitsidwa kwa chipatala cha MSF ku Kunduz, kugwetsedwa kwa 'Amayi a bomba onse' ku Nangarhar, mosaloledwa. mayendedwe a anthu aku Afghan kupita kundende zachinsinsi zakuda, ndende ya Guantanamo Bay, komanso kugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri ma drones okhala ndi zida. Kwina konse US yasokoneza kwambiri Middle East ndi Central Asia, malinga ndi The Physicians for Social Responsibility, mu lipoti yomwe idatulutsidwa mu 2015, inanena kuti kulowererapo kwa US ku Iraq, Afghanistan ndi Pakistan kokha kudapha pafupifupi 2 miliyoni, komanso kuti chiwerengerocho chinali pafupi ndi 4 miliyoni powerengera imfa ya anthu wamba yomwe idachititsidwa ndi US kumayiko ena, monga Syria ndi Yemen.
Gulu la Japan likufuna kupereka mapemphero amtendere Lolemba lino ku Hiroshima ground zero, zaka 73 mpaka tsiku lomwe US inagwetsa bomba la atomiki pamzindawu, ndikutulutsa nthawi yomweyo miyoyo ya 140,000, mosakayikira imodzi mwamilandu yoyipa kwambiri yankhondo "imodzi" yomwe idachitika mu mzindawu. mbiri ya anthu. Patatha masiku atatu US idagunda Nagasaki nthawi yomweyo kupha 70,000.

Masiku ano Okinawa, yomwe imayang'aniridwa kwanthawi yayitali ndi tsankho ndi akuluakulu aku Japan, imakhala ndi zida zankhondo za 33 zaku US, zomwe zimatenga 20% yamalo, nyumba zokwana 30,000 kuphatikiza US Marines omwe amachita masewera olimbitsa thupi owopsa kuyambira pazingwe zopachikidwa kuchokera ku ma helikopita a Osprey (nthawi zambiri amamangidwa mopitilira muyeso). -malo okhalamo), kupita ku maphunziro a m'nkhalango omwe amayenda molunjika m'midzi, monyada kugwiritsa ntchito minda ya anthu ndi minda ngati madera osamvana.

Pakali pano ku Afghanistan anthu oyenda pansi omwe amadzitcha kuti 'People's Peace Movement' akutsatira zomwe adakumana nazo pochita ziwonetsero kunja kwa ofesi ya kazembe wamayiko osiyanasiyana ku Kabul. Sabata ino ali kunja kwa ofesi ya kazembe wa Iran akufuna kuti kutha kwa Iran kusokoneza nkhani za Afghanistan komanso kukonzekeretsa magulu ankhondo mdzikolo.

Posachedwapa kazembe waku UK ku Afghanistan Sir Nicholas Kay, polankhula za momwe angathetsere mikangano ku Afghanistan adati: "Ndilibe yankho." Sipanakhalepo yankho lankhondo ku Afghanistan. Zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri za 'kuyandikira ku chigonjetso' pothetsa kusamvana kwa mayiko omwe akutukuka kumene kumatchedwa "kugonja," koma nkhondo ikapitilira, kugonja kwa anthu aku Afghanistan kukukulirakulira.
M'mbuyomu UK idakwatirana kwambiri ndi US mu 'ubale wawo wapadera', ndikuyika miyoyo yaku Britain ndi ndalama pamikangano iliyonse yomwe US idayambitsa. Izi zikutanthauza kuti UK idachita nawo gawo pakugwetsa zida za 2,911 ku Afghanistan m'miyezi 6 yoyambirira ya 2018, komanso pakuwonjezeka kwapakati kwa Purezidenti Trump ndi kanayi pa kuchuluka kwa bomba lomwe amaponya tsiku ndi tsiku ndi omwe adamuyambitsa nkhondo.

Adapeza kuti anthu wamba ambiri adaphedwa m'miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yoyambirira ya 2018 kuposa chaka chilichonse kuyambira 2009, pomwe UNAMA idayamba kuyang'anira mwadongosolo. Izi zinali choncho ngakhale kuti Eid ul-Fitr yasiya nkhondo, yomwe mbali zonse zomwe zikulimbana, kupatula ISKP, zidalemekeza.
Tsiku lililonse m'miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yoyambirira ya 2018, pafupifupi anthu wamba asanu ndi anayi a ku Afghanistan, kuphatikiza ana awiri, adaphedwa pankhondoyi. Pafupifupi anthu wamba XNUMX, kuphatikizapo ana asanu, amavulala tsiku lililonse.
Okutobala Afghanistan ilowa mchaka chake cha 18th chankhondo ndi US ndikuthandizira mayiko a NATO. Achinyamata aja omwe tsopano akulembetsa kuti amenyane mbali zonse anali m'masamba pamene 9/11 inachitika.

Mwachiyembekezo palinso m'badwo womwe umati "palibenso nkhondo, tikufuna kuti miyoyo yathu ibwerere", mwina siliva wamtambo wa Trump ndikuti anthu akuyamba kudzuka ndikuwona kusowa kwathunthu kwa nzeru kumbuyo kwa US ndi zake. ndondomeko zaudani zakunja ndi zapakhomo, pamene anthu akutsatira njira za anthu osachita zachiwawa monga Abdul Ghafoor Khan, kusinthaku kukuyenda kuchokera pansi.
