The '''War in Afghanistan'''<ref group="lower-alpha">Dari: جنگ در افغانستان; Pashto: د افغانستان جګړه</ref> was a conflict in [[Islamic Republic of Afghanistan\|Afghanistan]] from 2001 to 2021 between the Afghan government, [[mujahideen]], and [[Imperialism\|imperialist]] forces led by the [[United States of America\|United States]]. The U.S. invasion began in 2001 after the [[September 11 attacks\|September 11 terrorist attacks]] since Afghanistan's Osama Bin Laden was charged with the event. Despite this, Afghanistan was never placed on the State Department list of sponsors of terror, since this would have inhibited natural gas deals and oil transportation agreements.<ref name=":0">{{Web citation\|author=Michael Parenti\|newspaper=Common Dreams\|title=Afghanistan, Another Untold Story\|date=2008-12-2\|url=https://www.commondreams.org/views/2008/12/02/afghanistan-another-untold-story}}</ref> The war was not only seen as a way to extend US influence into the oil rich lands of [[Central Asia]], but also an opportunity to take hold of an oil pipeline crossing Afghanistan and [[Pakistan]] to the [[Indian Ocean]], as proposed by the US oil corporation UNOCAL.<ref name=":0" /> A US military presence in areas of prospective investment is virtually guaranteed. [[Lawrence Wilkerson]], former Chief of Staff to former Secretary of State [[Colin Powell]] and retired US Army Colonel, is on video stating in 2018 that a key reason for the (then-)continued US occupation of Afghanistan was the prospect of strategically utilizing the Uyghur population in the nation (and their feelings towards Han Chinese people) as a bulwark against the [[People's Republic of China]].<ref>{{YouTube citation\|url=https://youtu.be/00Cvx0R8iDo\|channel=mrzack888\|title=Uyghur 'unrest' was a CIA narrative planned to destabilize China, top US army Chief admits}}</ref>
