Chapter of Twenty Years: An Ultimate End of Proxy War in Afghanistan and Role of Pakistan in Peace Process

Afghanistan’s area is covered by the East-West and North-South of the Hindu Kush range, which pins down the foreign occupier. It forms a life-and-death bridge which joins Southern and Eastern Asia to Central Asia and West Asia. After the 9/11 incident, the journey of war came to an end on 29th February, 2021, the Taliban forces and the US government signed a peace agreement at Doha. This paper engages the withdrawal of US military troops from the landlocked country, Afghanistan and the peace process. The US returned to their home after the end of a twenty-year-long war. Resultantly, the ‘new’ Taliban and its club house took over the reins of the country. The Afghanistan government, the Taliban, and the US are ultimately involved in a battle of two decades. On 15th August, 2021, the Taliban forces entered the capital of Afghanistan with high speed and drew the world's eyes towards them. After 15 days of the date of entrance of Taliban into Kabul, US military forces concluded their operations and evacuated the land of Afghanistan on 30th August, 2021, marking the end of the proxy war.
