Afghan Forces To Take Over Bagram Airfield From United States

Afghan National Security and defense force will take charge of 'Bagram Airfield' from the US military after nearly 20 years, said the US officials on July 1. The Airfield was the hub of the US's manhunt against Al-Qaeda and a Warland against the Taliban. However, the decision comes after US President Joe Biden promised to withdraw troops by September 11 in order to end the "forever war."
