Washington Week with The Atlantic

The consequences of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan

Season 2022 Episode 33 | 12m 23s

One year ago this week, Taliban forces entered Afghanistan's capital of Kabul, causing the U.S. to scramble to evacuate thousands of Americans and many more Afghans, who for decades supported U.S. war efforts. But the frantic and deadly withdrawal set off widespread criticisms of President Biden, while the Taliban takeover of the country led to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
