After twenty years of war, invasion and occupation, US-led forces in Afghanistan, including Australian defence personnel have finally withdrawn, ending one of the longest military engagements in modern history.




Within weeks of the withdrawal the Taliban, who were officially deposed at the beginning of the conflict, swept the country, seizing the capital, Kabul, and retaking control.




Now there are fears for millions of Afghans facing life under a repressive regime.




Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper Karen Middleton and political analyst in Kabul Ramish Salimi, on the latest developments in Afghanistan, how we got to this point, and what the future looks like for Afghans.
