The US Senate is examining Biden's policy towards Afghanistan today

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: The Foreign Relations Committee of the US House of Representatives has announced that it is going to hold a hearing on the issue of the Biden administration's policy towards Afghanistan since the United States left the country.

 

According to the announcement of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US House of Representatives, this meeting will be held today (Tuesday, November 14).

 

In this meeting, John Sapko, the head of the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), will testify.

 

According to the information, SIGAR reports to the US Congress every three months on its monitoring of the budget that the US spends in Afghanistan.

 

I have to say; On April 14, 2021, US President Joe Biden announced that he had decided to end operations in Afghanistan, which became the longest foreign military operation in US history. The United States started this war in October 2001. At the peak of operations in 2013-2010, the number of Western forces in Afghanistan exceeded 150 thousand people. The withdrawal of American forces began in May 2021. The main US and NATO combat units left Afghanistan in 2014.

 

After the announcement of the United States' readiness to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan in the spring of 2021, the forces of the Islamic Emirate began a large-scale operation to establish control over the country. On August 15, 2021, the former president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani fled the country and the Islamic Emirate entered Kabul without a conflict. By early September 2021, the US military has completely left Afghanistan, ending the nearly 20-year occupation of Afghanistan.
