we know the numbers, we use numbers to understand the time of our activities, dates of 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 their mother tongue, 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, 2974, 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 fortunate 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. attacks in broad

daylight as everyone looked on, the air defense system and advanced fighter jets of the most powerful country in the world couldn't stop. you okay, oh my god, oh my god, "the 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, of 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 terrorist 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. after.

words, the north atlantic treaty organization, nato, held a summit meeting, according to article 5 of the washington treaty an armed attack against one or more of them in europe or north america. 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 us central intelligence agency claim to have arrested the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in pakistan. according to the cia, his name was khalid. who was born to pakistani parents in kuwait and studied in north carolina, usa. 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 911. 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... aveng the september 11th attacks from afghans. 20 years of war with a country that had 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-qaeda 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 deploymentts 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 pacifist 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 the 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... this attack proved that the presence of the americans 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 of 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 chinoir. thought that they identified a would be suicide bomber among citizens. the report

says the marines frantically fled 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 children. 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 thousand confidential documents about the us war in afghanistan. stand between 2004 and 2009. the documents confirm the killing of civilians 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, um, 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 threat of events, so those include to something like task force 373 and us-based assassination

squad that goes around afghanistan, killing people a killer capture list. uh, 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 was condent by 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 in the information about the killing of afghan civilians. wars waited 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 turm and is doomed to failure. we urged the us to reflect seriously and correct is mistakes and take concrete. the international criminal court began investigating war crimes committed in afghanistan since 2003 forces used to burn or

dismember civilian dead bodies take photos with 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. 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 pussange was arrested by british police in london on april 11th, 2019. he was detained after years of taking refuge in the ecuadorian 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 behalf 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... 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. the us secretary of state mike pompeo also announced sanctions on fatu bensuda, former prosecutor 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. 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 10:03. 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, orphane 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 to citizens of saudi arabia, the uae, egypt and lebanon, not to fly any... planes 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 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. 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 midr after folling to the... military plane and were added to the victims in the last minutes of the american's departure. the scene makes this tragedy last for all the people of the

world.

this is story of an unrival champion of the african continent who captivated audiences with his skill and determination, hero who made history with a bold decision to withdraw from the olympics, refusing to face... his

really opponent in solidarity with his principles and beliefs. more civilians lose their lives in the israely war on gaza, as total death pull now has exceeded 41, israeli forces killed at least eight palestinians and air strikes on two cities across the occupied west bank, and iran's president calls for a strength.
