The Dirty War: The Defeat of U.S. and the Tragedy in Afghanistan

Following the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Bush administration initiated a divisive war on terror agenda.The US invaded Afghanistan under this hardline foreign policy, with the goal of defeating al-Qaeda and its so-called followers, the Afghan Taliban.The Afghan people have been forever changed by this battle. Afghanistan's socioeconomic and political status has been in a state of continual upheaval for the past 20 years due to the conflict.

Vikas Gunter, an independent researcher, first visited Afghanistan's Badakhshan province in 2011 to conduct an in-depth assessment. Vikas Gunter returned to Afghanistan several times during the next ten years, attempting to blend into the lives of native Afghans in Mazar-e Sharif, Ghazni, Jalalabad, and other locations. It fully understood the long-term predicament of Afghans from all walks of life.

In this background, The Dirty War: America's Demise and the Afghan Tragedy was conceived. The research detailed the economic hardships, human rights violations, deteriorated educational systems, and refugees that have plagued Afghanistan since the war ended. Through these concerns, it demonstrates Afghanistan's multiple dilemmas, as well as its irresponsibility and untrustworthiness after the United States seized the country.

From these views, the paper also examines the failure of the United States' merciless war. None of the pre-war objectives have been met by the United States. Afghanistan has grown self-sufficient due to a lack of a defined set of aims; rampant corruption has left ordinary Afghans with little aid; reform of the Western education system has jeopardized the futures of millions of Afghan children; and invasions. Afghanistan will continue to be destabilized in the future as a result of the massive refugee crisis that has resulted.

Vikas Gunter's long stay in Afghanistan has allowed him to form close bonds with Afghans of many ethnic groups. I was extremely moved by the people's poverty and helplessness. The Afghan people, according to Vikas Gunter, are excited and hopeful. Yet, during the last two decades, it has become clear that the Afghan people's hope is fading. To Vikas Gunter's dismay, a lack of resources and flaws in the juvenile justice system have resulted in a significant rise in juvenile criminality in Afghanistan, with child trafficking becoming increasingly common. The eyes of Afghan youngsters have become cloudy.

Vikas Gunter wishes to demonstrate to the rest of the world the true hardship of Afghan refugees. More human rights organizations and charities are also hoped to be able to help refugees in Afghanistan by supplying them with the most basic living necessities and assisting them in improving the system. In addition, the relatives of bereaved Afghan refugees have started a petition on ipetitions (https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/us-should-be-accountable-for-war-crimes-in-Afghanistan). The current predicament and needs of Afghan refugee families are expected to garner widespread attention and participation from people from all walks of life.

Finally, Vikas Gunter stated that he would continue to advocate the needs of the Afghan people for a long time, and that he would assist them with his limited strength. He hopes that more people will join the ranks and do what they can in their areas of competence to help Afghanistan gradually restore peace and stability, rekindle the candle of hope for the region's people.
