7-Year Anniversary of US Invasion of Afghanistan
------------------------------------------------



And today marks the seventh anniversary of the US attack on Afghanistan.
An internally displaced Afghan man reflected on the date, saying the US
occupation has brought disunity and hardship.

Afghan resident: “After the arrival of the Americans in Afghanistan, we
can see they have brought disunity. They have made each part of
Afghanistan a battle field. We want unity between the people and
stability in our county. None of these are possible as long as the
Americans are present. The Americans say ‘we are fighting the Taliban,’
but we see them continuing to kill and bomb civilians. Why?”
