Did the war in Afghanistan ever end?

The war in Afghanistan officially ended for U.S. and NATO forces on August 30, 2021, when the last troops withdrew from the country, marking the conclusion of a two-decade military presence. However, the situation in Afghanistan remains complex, with the Taliban regaining control and ongoing humanitarian and security challenges. While the U.S. and its allies have exited, the underlying conflicts and issues within Afghanistan continue, suggesting that the broader struggle for stability in the region has not yet fully concluded.
