The United States government symbolically marked the end of the Afghan conflict as US general Austin Miller relinquished command and departed the country. General Miller is the last 4 star general to serve on the ground.
This symbolic end marked the conclusion of America’s longest conflict which has lasted just shy of 20 years. While the official end is set for August 31, US generals will continue to support Afghan security forces from overseas.
Taliban insurgents are currently regaining momentum capturing further territory.
