Protests against the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes countries go to war with each other because they have disagreements or because they want to protect their people? Well, in 2001, the United States decided to go to war in a country called Afghanistan because some people there had attacked the US.
Now, some people in the United States didn't think going to war was the right thing to do. They thought that it would only lead to more violence and hurt innocent people. So, they decided to peacefully speak out and protest against the war.
Protests are a way for people to show their disagreement with something by getting together and sharing their thoughts and feelings. People who protested against the war in Afghanistan wanted the government to stop sending soldiers there and to find a different way to handle the situation.
Some people protested by marching in the streets and holding signs with their message. Others wrote letters to their government representatives or spoke out on social media. Some even organized events to raise awareness and educate people about the situation.
The protests continued for years, because even though the war officially ended in 2014, US troops still remain in Afghanistan. People who feel strongly about this issue still protest to this day, hoping to bring attention to the impact of war and advocating for a different approach to resolving conflicts.
