The US and its allies are withdrawing the last of their troops from Afghanistan after one of their longest military engagements. It amid rising violence from the Taliban, and concerns that a civil war between it and supporters of the Afghan Government could follow. It's the latest for a country that has suffered through decades of conflict. We've talked about it a bit on the Squiz Today podcast, so in this episode, we'll dive into Afghanistan's history, why the US and other nations including Australia got involved, and what's next.
