Originally setting September 11 as the final withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, Joe Biden intended to turn the page on the terrible attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon 20 years ago. The longest war in the United States had indeed been launched to punish the Taliban, who refused to deliver Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaeda, responsible for the attack. But the calamitous withdrawal of the last American troops, who are abandoning the country to these same Taliban, will taint the ceremonies with a bitter taste. This will not help to appease the country, which has lost its sense of invincibility and has fallen back on itself since the tragedy of 2001. On the occasion of this sad anniversary, which coincides with the rout suffered in Kabul, The Express wanted to analyze the consequences of this defeat for the United States and for the world, with our correspondent in Washington and many experts.
