The US and its allies are withdrawing the last of their troops from Afghanistan after one of their longest military engagements.

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.
