'''Afghanistan''' (Pashto/Dari: افغانستان), officially the '''Islamic Republic of Afghanistan''',<ref>http://www.president.gov.af/</ref> is a country in [[South Asia]] which borders the Arabian Sea to the south, India to the east and [[Iran]] to the west. Afghanistan was the scene of the defeat of the [[Soviet Union]] in the [[Soviet-Afghan war]] of 1979–1988. In the 1990s an extremist Islamic [[Taliban]] movement took control and allowed Osama bin-Laden and his Al-Qaeda to operate there and plan the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] on the U.S. An international invasion led by the U.S. overthrew the Taliban in 2001, but they have rebuilt strongholds in the south, along the Pakistan border, and have escalated the insurgency. In 2021, President [[Joe Biden]] withdrew [[American]] forces from the country in a way that enabled its nearly immediate recapture by the [[Taliban]].
