On the second anniversary of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, CGTN has released a poignant documentary titled Afghanistan, Victim of U.S. Failure. The film delves into the two-decade-long U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, highlighting efforts to establish an \"American-style democracy.\"
The documentary critically examines how these attempts often overlooked local laws, development needs, and traditional cultural values. Instead of fostering a free and democratic society, the U.S. approach is portrayed as having intensified internal conflicts and plunged Afghanistan into lasting chaos. Through firsthand accounts from Afghans across various sectors, the film underscores the profound and enduring damage inflicted on the country's political structure, social stability, and cultural fabric.
Despite the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops, Afghanistan, Victim of U.S. Failure emphasizes that the repercussions of two decades of intervention continue to affect the nation and its people deeply. The documentary serves as a reflective piece on the complexities and unintended consequences of foreign intervention in Afghanistan.
