The photograph, taken in 2008 by the late British photographer Tim Hetherington, is from a time when nearly a fifth of all combat in Afghanistan was taking place in the six-mile valley. Tim HetheringtonBoth Hetherington and Junger became “enamoured with the opportunity to show the intimacy of a platoon in combat,” Junger said in an interview via telephone. “My examination of young men and violence, or of young men… It’s as much a journey about my own identity as it is about those young soldiers,” he wrote. ‘It took a little bit from his soul’In this process, Hetherington worried about how photography could be extractive. He wrote of the young men he met there: “They are grimily happy that we are here to help them.

“Currently we don’t have security in Afghanistan at all, whenever we go out we don’t know if we will come home alive or not,” he added. Taliban security forces guard a checkpoint near the foreign ministry in Kabul on March 27, after an ISIS-K suicide bomber struck the site. The data, which is available in a live map, includes 367 pieces of open-source evidence — largely videos and images shared on social media — about 70 ISIS-K attacks since August 2021. As the Taliban try to minimize the threat ISIS-K poses, attacks on civilians continue. Taliban security forces have been waging ongoing operations and night raids against ISIS-K.
In debates about defense spending and foreign policy, Democrats have failed to deliver on climate. The depth and scope of the IRA's approach to confronting climate change is unparalleled. Yet 180 House Democrats voted for the bill, which expanded our budget for conducting a polluting, militaristic foreign policy to nearly $850 billion. US foreign policy, militarism, and climate policy must go together. The national security community is acutely aware of the effects of climate change — they've been thinking, planning, and gaming out scenarios since the late 2000s.
Însărcinatul cu afaceri american Ross Wilson susţine însă că amplificarea violenţelor în Afganistan este cauzată de talibani, pe care îi acuză că îşi încalcă angajamentele asumate în cadrul discuţiilor de pace, chiar în timp ce forţele SUA îşi continuă retragerea. "Stat Islamic rămâne o forţă puternică, iar acesta este unul dintre numeroasele motive pentru care vom continua să le furnizăm autorităţilor afgane un ajutor în materie de securitate şi contraterorism", a declarat Wilson în interviul acordat luni agenţiei France Presse.Stat Islamic a revendicat atacul asupra moscheii, dar nu şi pe cel asupra şcolii. "Atentatul asupra şcolii şi cel asupra moscheii de peste câteva zile par mai degrabă să fi fost comise de aşa-numitul Stat Islamic", a declarat Wilson, adăugând că elemente ale Al-Qaida continuă de asemenea să acţioneze în ţară. "Dar nu spun asta pentru a exonera pe cineva, şi cu siguranţă nu pe talibani pentru violenţele în care ei sunt direct implicaţi sau pentru ecosistemul de terorism şi de violenţă la care ei rămân profund, profund, profund complici", a adăugat el.În ciuda dezminţirilor talibanilor şi a revendicărilor făcute de Stat Islamic, guvernul afgan pune deseori pe seama talibanilor violenţele împotriva civililor, susţinând că SI a fost învins în urmă cu doi ani în fostul său bastion, provincia Nangarhar din estul ţării.Organizaţia jihadistă a atras atenţia presei în 2014 atunci când şi-a făcut apariţia în zone întinse din provinciile Nangarhar şi Kunar (nord-est). Susţinătorii săi au revendicat apoi atentate comise inclusiv la Kabul, fiind în acelaşi timp atacaţi de forţele americane, afgane şi chiar de talibani.
