President Biden’s plan to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by September 2021 “could lead to civil war”. That’s the warning from one of the country’s senior politicians – the Speaker of the Afghan parliament.

The conflict is American’s longest military engagement and President Biden is determined to finally bring it to an end.

At the height of the war 100,000 US troops were deployed in Afghanistan. Currently, there are around 2,500.

Afghanistan remains divided with continuing violence and the Taliban still in control of many areas.
