If the U.S had wanted to stay in Afghanistan they would have done so for another 200yrs. The truth is that this evil western powers don't go to where they have no interest. They have considered Afghanistan and have seen that it doesn't offer much to them anymore compared to what they are putting in. They have achieved their wicked desires for that country that is why they decided to pull out when they did. The west doesn't care about no one but themselves that is why they will leave the citizens of a country to fight themselves to death while they steal their resources and pretend to be seeking for peace at the United Nations. They have been playing this game for ages but many people do not understand this fact.
Do you want to tell me that if Afghanistan was as resource rich as the Congo DR the Americans would leave? Never. They deliberately left Afghanistan when they did.

nonsense ,did America fight the state of Afghanistan, what were you expecting from a Chinese media about America? America were only fighting terrorist in Afghanistan and not the state itself, global best practices were applied during all their time there, America can nuke the whole of Middle East in minutes in a full blown war, keep deceiving yourself there, that was how you guys were cheering Iran until they started shooting down their own airplanes and killing their own citizens.

Hypocrites ?
You know nothing about France or its history
Why you can't wear a niqab in school is because of Laïcité
Laïcité relies on the division between private life, where adherents believe religion belongs, and the public sphere, in which each individual should appear as a simple citizen who is equal to all other citizens, devoid of ethnic, religious, or other particularities. According to this concept, the government must refrain from taking positions on religious doctrine and consider religious subjects only for their practical consequences on inhabitants' lives.

Get that deep in your skull
The school is a public place
All Religious symbols are banned in public places
Government officials are not allowed to wear religious symbols


Before you spew trash research well
Turkey
Albania
Also practice this form of secularism

Its already laid down it's in the constitution
Its what make France "FRANCE" if you have a problem with it
You can go to another place

I support laïcité

There is nothing special about Afghanistan. If the UK, US, or Russia wanted to destroy the country, they would have leveled it with nuclear bombs.

The only reason why there's a special interest in Afghanistan is because it is a breeding ground for terrorists.

Edit: For all those people quoting me telling me how Alexander the Great and Ghenghis Khan could not conquer Afghanistan, please STFU with your ignorance.
Alexander the Great conquered Afghanistan but couldn't keep it because he had no heir to unite his empire.

Ghenghis Khan conquered Afghanistan and expanded the Mongol empire all the way from China to Europe.
Afghanistan is nothing but a barren mountainous ragtag land filled with terrorists.
you are very correct... You know the history.... Alexander never had a heir. That was his very weak point. So great a man

No they (US) did not create the Taliban.
In fact they did not create any group.
The US/Britain allegedly 'supported' the Mujahideen NOT the Taliban in the 70s against communist USSR. Support is not the same as creating a group.

If any international body decides to throw in support for any of the raging seccession groups in Nigeria today, would it be right to say that such international body/country created the succession group?

The Former Afghanistan President wasn't committed to his country. Stories of Ghost soldiers in their forces/corruption also abound.
In short, the government wasn't serious.
May God help us.
if you support something and they metamorphosed into something else you helped created that thing.

If America had denied the mujahedeen the support and funding, they wouldnt have turned into taliban, or you forget that some leaders of mujahedeen broke away to form Taliban??

Same way the Americans armed and funded the seperatists and armed group that toppled gadafi, in the end, what became of these seperatists and armed group in Libya, that Libya now is a lawless country filled with hundreds of war Lords, whom now sell weapons to and train their soldiers there

You people can't use ur brain to think but instead allow some bigots to reason for you. The way IPOB is forced to take arm and later termed terrorists is the same way world powers kept colonising, oppressing and enslaving Afghanistan. They call them terrorists because they refused to succumb to their lifestyle and modern crusade, Afghanistan people are the most oppressed people on earth. Osama and Taliban were the creation of US just like how Nigeria created Kanu, Igboho and Shekau. All Western Nations and US are plainly practicing a system of govt that was born out of Christianity and they clearly told Turkey in her effort to join EU despite being in the territory that EU is a Christian union as such I see no reason why West should prevent other Nations from having Islamic states or system of govt of their choice, why the imposition? US and her ally are more terrorists than any other group of people; who were crusaders, who fought WW1, who fought the 2nd WW, who lied to the world that there is Nuclear weapon in Iraq and murdered more than 1m civilians, who terrorised Vietnam, who killed civilians in Nagasaki and shirishoma? Please stop deceiving yourself with what others say, use your brain and ponder well about fact using ur conscience.
Nobody will choose to be slave. Go and read history!

lol. Apart from the US and UK which western nation practices a system of government with its grounding in Christianity?

And when and where did the EU tell Turkey they can't join the Eu because the Eu is for Christian countries?

You people make me laugh endlessly on this site.

The US Forces in Afghanistan were occupying Forces and must come to an end which was what the US did by withdrawing from Afghanistan. The US achieved the objectives by making sure Afghanistan no longer pose threats to their interests.

The people of Afghanistan can rule themselves in any ways they like in as much as they stop breeding terrorists that attack the US interests.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE are Islamic countries that don't practice democracy and are strong allies of the US.

The issues at stake is NOT really about Islamic Government or even about religions as you are ignorantly insinuating.
Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia are more breeding grounds for terrorists than Afghanistan. So why hasn't the U.S attacked these countries? Or are there terrorists that are friendly to the U.S?

There is nothing special about Afghanistan. The US only removed the Talibans and installed a democratic government there. Unfortunately, the people love oppression. They like it when terrorist numbskulls from Quraysh flog them using 6th century ideology.
Then U.S should go and remove all leaders that are not democratically elected and install democracy in those countries, since it is their job. Starting with China

My guy to pass through a country with your army killing a few hundred thousand people doesn't mean conquering. To conquer a people or country, u must take over every means of livelihood in that place without any form of resistance. The reason why it is said Afghanistan has never been conquered is because they always resist occupation of their lands through various means like guerilla warfare

FFK leave USA and their withdrawal from Afghanistan alone. During the course of their stay in Afghanistan, a lot of US personnel’s in the Army and Air-force lost their lives leaving their loved ones behind. The US had also spent trillions of dollars during the course of this war to train Afghan military personnel but it yielded no result, they have low morale to fight back. If you so much care about Afghanistan can volunteer yourself to join the Afghan Armed Forces to combat the Taliban. .

I have said this in this platform before and I will say it again. The moment the US supplied the Nigerian terrorist government with super tocano jet knowing full well that it will be used against indigenous people agitating for freedom and equally sent their Naval Warship to checkmate the activities of “secessionists” in the golf of Guinea, God in His Justice decided to disgrace them in Afghanistan. More disgrace is on the way...

The US conquered and subdued Afghanistan for the last 20 years, if they were not successful, Afghans wouldn't be falling from planes as the US withdraws its support.

These escaping Afghans have accepted the western ideology as a preferred way of life, they are not ready to go back to the mediaeval practices of an Islamic state.

They are running away from Islamic extremists not their age-old Afghan cultures. Someone posted a picture of Afghan women dressed in Western attire in 1970s recently on Twitter. So definitely the Islamic extremists like Taliban came to the country some decades ago. But unlike the liberal West, the Islamic extremists doctrine is based on the use of force and it doesn't respect any indigenous culture of its host.

Lmao, who is this? Conquering means you have crushed the resistance and appointed your own person to rule the area. If the people of that area answer to the person you appointed then you conquered them.

Power play appears differently with the way it is portrayed in reality. I didn't insinuate religion on my comment except where necessary and it is plain truth. The mouthwatering immediate past US President has made it clear of their intention.
Go and revisit history of the reason why US deliberately provoked Taliban just to achieve their goals, they deliberately allowed them to attack WTC just to achieve their goals just like how I gave u example of how some people are tricked to the bloodshedding game in Nigeria today. History of power play has long being on played and will never stop. You can play well with ur enemies today and fight him tomorrow. They make alliance to bring down enemies and later become enemies.

Saudi Arabia, the home base of Wahabism and the cradle of Islam is an ally of the US and it doesn't practice Democracy. The interest of the US in Afghanistan has absolutely nothing to do with religion or Western life styles but political interests of the US.


There are many countries that aren't practicing democracy and reject Western lifestyles, yet the US have no problems with them.

No terrorist bulshit whatsoever, why can't they try their gimmicks with Iran since they've all (Unilaterally) designated Iran as a Terrorist state?

With this US failure, any Country that is planning to invade Afghanistan in future will have a very hard time because just like other countries, they will start preparing against foreign invasion. The West has failed yet again.
