refusing to face an israeli opponent in solidarity with his principles and beliefs. of of we know the numbers. we use numbers to understand the time of our activities, dates of specific events on calendars, the amount of salary we receive, the amount of money we pay for our daily shopping, the exact size of our clothes and many other things. people use numbers more than and this is not the only

interesting fact about numbers. it often happens that number has different meanings. one side is life and hope and the other is death. for instance, 2,974, 91, 47,245. these three numbers can be the number of schools, doctors or hospital beds available to patients in a country. yet for the afghan people, these numbers don't refer to fortune.

events, they are signs of horrific incidents. the first number, 2,974. on september 11th, 2001, 2,974 people lost their lives and 25,000 were injured. 19 hijackers carried out the attacks in broad daylight as everyone looked on. the air defenses. system and advanced fighter jets of

the most powerful country in the world couldn't stop you okay yeah oh my god oh my god but 2,974 people who were killed on september 11th were from 90 different nationalities, and the 19 members of the group that carried out the attack hailed from four countries: saudi arabia, the uae, egypt, and lebanon. to be more precise, 15 of them were citizens of saudi arabia, two from the united arab emirates, one from lebanon, and one from egypt. there were no afghan terrorists among

the members, but on october 7th, the united states invaded afghanistan, seeking revenge against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. before the invasion, then us president george w. bush held a meeting with his senior advisors at camp david and declared war. on my orders, the united states military has begun strikes against al-qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan. afterwards, the north atlantic treaty organization, nato, held a summit meeting, according to article: five of the washington

treaty an armed attack against one or more of them in europe or north america shall be considered attack against them all, so all 19 member countries, and then secretary general of nato... lord robertson decided to join america in invading afghanistan. two years later, in 2003, the u.s. central intelligence agency claim to have arrested the mastermind the 9/11 attacks in pakistan. according to the cia, his name was khalid sheikh mohammed, who was born to pakistani parents in kuwait and studied in north carolina, us. apparently he suggested the attacks to the leader of al-qaeda in 1996, while the us was in a hurry to invade afghanistan, sheikh muhammad's trial was held in 2021, 18 years after 9/11.

so far, there were no afghans involved in those series of attacks on september 11th. but the united states believed that afghans must have paid for the 2,974 victims of that dark day. america's reason to invade afghanistan was that the leaders of al-qaeda were hiding in that country, but later most of al-qaeda's members were arrested in pakistan. their leader, osama bin laden was killed in pakistan by american special forces 10 years after the start of the us-let war in. afghanistan,

it took 20 years to avenge the september 11th attacks from afghans. 20 years of war with a country that had has been engaged in a civil war for more than two decades. at first, the special forces of the cia entered afghanistan through pakistan, where al-qaida leaders were later arrested or killed. american forces entered afghanistan to provide security for helicopters and airplanes to enter through special operations, including the collection of short-range stinger missiles. these missiles were given to the mujahidin of afghanistan by the united states to fight against the soviet red army in the 1980s. now the us begins attacks with bombings. their

attacks lasted for 44 hours using. all kinds of bombs and cruise missiles to set the record for the longest bombing campaign in history. 830 paratroopers from 13 nato member states entered afghanistan when there were almost no military facilities or industrial infrastructure left in that country. afghanistan became safe place for guests who wanted to... fight terrorism for 20 years. very soon in just two months, more than 1,300 american troops entered afghanistan. i'm announcing today. additional american troop

deployments to afghanistan. the arrival of american troops continued rapidly after that, and in 2004, their number rose to 20,000. nine years later, during the era of the pacific president of the united states, barack obama, the number reached 100 thousand. thank you very much. by hearing the news about afghanistan, people around the world realized that the us started. war in its own style, just like the vietnam war. on december 29, 2001, american warplanes bombed village near the city of gardez, the capital of pacquia province, under the pretext of targeting the terrorists ammunition

warehouses. the attack killed 52 civilians, most of them women and children. this attack proved. had results other than elimination of al-qaeda in afghanistan. ngos around the world made. efforts to stop the war crimes and the killing of civilians in afghanistan. in his report, mark harrold, a professor at the university of new hampshire, expressed that the casualties of afghan civilians from 2001 to 2002 exceeded the number of victims the 9/11 attacks. his report showed that 3,800 afghan civilians were killed by the us. army in the first two months of the war, from october 7th to december 7th, 2001. however,

the americans and nato forces did not stop. on october 3rd, 2015, they killed 42 civilians in attack a hospital operated by doctors without borders in condues. incident like this was repeated on march 4, 2007. on that day, united states marines fired on people and killed 19 civilians in chenwar. they thought that they identified a would be suicide bomber among citizens. the

report says the marines frantically flet the scene, destroyed a six-mile stretch of highway, started firing weapons and shot almost everyone around. in the same year, polish forces accompanied by the us soldiers attacked a wedding ceremony in a village and killed 40 women and... there was a pregnant woman among the victims. two years later in 2009, the us forces killed 15 afghan students on the school bus. on may 5 of the same year, us military offensive killed 140 civilians in

abdul basir khan village in farah province. the news about the us crimes was totally censored by the mainstream media, but in july 2010, wikileaks, which had classified information, published more than 91,00 confidential documents about the us war in afghanistan between 2004 and 2009. the documents confirm the killing of civilian. by the us and its nato allies. these documents,

known as the afghan war diaries, were obtained from brantley manning, a former us army intelligence analyst. in this case, it will show the the true nature of this war, and then the the public from... afghanistan and other nations can see what's really going on and take steps to address the problems. the significance of this material is both the overarching context, that is, it covers the entire war since 2004, and individual events, which are also significant or a thread of events, so those include something like task force 373 and us-based assassination. that goes around afghanistan, it includes

significant events where many people were killed. according to these documents, the us used white phosphorus in afghanistan. a few years before the afghan war, the use of white phosphorus on the battlefield. international human rights organizations for causing severe burns, but wikileaks documents confirmed that in may 2009, nato forces repeatedly used white phosphorus to... clear targets or open fire at enemies shelters and equipment. many anti-american politicians started a campaign to condemn these barbaric behaviors. it happened after the publication of these confidential documents and the information about the killing of afghan civilians. wars

wayged by the us have caused tremendous casualties and displacement of civilians. the drastic change. in afghanistan shows once again that military intervention and power politics get no support, imposing the american style democracy on others will only lead to chaos and turmo and is doomed to failing. we urge the us to reflect seriously and correct its mistakes and take concrete actions to address its serious humalizes problems. we call on the humorize council. and high commissioner for human rights to continue to attend to the human rights situation in the us, the international criminal court began investigating war crimes committed in afghanistan since 2003. us forces used to burn or dismember civilian dead bodies, take photos with them, create

secret prisons and attack wedding ceremonies. they also used inhumane. ation methods such as water boarding, forcing prisoners to stand for long hours and preventing them from sleeping for a week, all these tortures were among the daily activities of american forces in afghanistan. following the publication of the results of the investigation, the international committee of the red cross announced in a report that afghan prisoners and cia detention centers. were kept in complete darkness and they had to listen to music played at excruciating volumes in their cells, and in the absence of heating system many prisoners died. the process of revelations against the war crimes of nato soldiers in afghanistan entered new phase with what sergeant jeff cork admitted and the

inside modern war podcast. according to his words, nato forces used afghans as human shields and used children to clear explosive traps. based on his confessions, small afghan children, less than 10 years of age were let with box of chocolate, toys and food packages to the alleys where there was a possibility of explosive traps. american soldiers and their companions used them to make their path safe and secure. it was time for the american authorities to respond to these revelations. at first, then white house national security advisor james l. jones, issued a statement saying that the release of the wikileaks files was dangerous for american citizens and their allies and requested the stop of wikileaks as soon as possible. afterwards,

the australian editor of wikileaks, julian paul sange was arrested. by british police in london on april 11th, 2019. he was detained after years of taking refuge in the ecuadorean embassy to be punished for the release of these 91,00 secret documents. but what happened to the judges of the international criminal court in june 2020, donald trump issued an order to impose severe economic sanctions and travel ban on the personnel of the international criminal court, in response to their efforts to complete the war crimes investigation against the us military. today on the eve of

september the 11th, i want to deliver a clear and unambiguous message on half of the president of the united states. the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. we will not cooperate with the icc, we will provide no assistance to the icc, and we certainly will not join the icc. we will let the icc die its own. after all, for all intents and purposes, the icc is already dead to us. we will respond against the icc and its personnel to the extent permitted by us law. we will ban its judges and prosecutors

from entering the united states. we will sanction their funds in the us financial system, and we will prosecute them in the us criminal system. we will do the same for any company or state that assists an icc investigation of americans. the u.s. secretary of state, mike pompel, also announced. on fattu bensuda, former prosecutor of the international criminal court, and stated that this action was one of the important achievements of the trump administration. the us state department also restricted the issuance of visas for other personnel of the international criminal court. the united states is not a party to the icc, we will take all necessary measures to protect our citizens from this renograte unlawful so-called court.

the september 11th attacks started at 8:14 a.m. with the report of the hijacking of american airlines flight 11 and ended with the crash of the united airlines flight 93 at 103 am, but despite the fact that there was no afghan member among the hijackers. afghan people were under continuous attacks for 175,200 hours for those 109 minutes. after

9/11, the us and its nato allies carried out the worst assaults for 20 years, killing more than 47,245 civilians in afghanistan. these 47,245 people wished for better life, as american troops entered afghanistan. by april, 2021, about 174,000 afghans had already lost their lives in the us-led war. it's an arduous task to count the number of sad parents. orphan children, widowed young women and wounded people. the amount of destruction left behind by the us military presence is unexplainable, but we can easily

understand that afghan people have been victimized all these years. they asked the citizens of saudi arabia, the uae, egypt, and lebanon, not to fly any plains into american towers and go for something else in their leisure time. undoubtedly, the us reactions to the international criminal court and wikileaks show that they never regret their crimes in afghanistan. in the last days of their presence in kabul, they attacked family with a drone strike to increase the number of war crimes. it also manifests that americans remain steadfast in sacrificing afghan civilians. and wanted to record this reality in history.

americans left afghanistan after 20 years, the us spent two trillion dollars during all these years. "the number of afghan civilians that were killed by the us forces in cold blood is unforgettable. numbers that show painful realities, those who made it to the last plane to accompany the americans probably didn't know about these horrendous incidents. two afghans fell to their death mid-air after folling to the us military plan and were added to the victims in the last minutes of the american's departure. this scene makes this tragedy last for all the people of the world.
