(FILES) US Army soldiers from the 1-506 Infantry Division set out on a patrol in Paktika province, along the Afghan-Pakistan border on November 28, 2008, a day after Taliban fighters attacked a large logistics convoy of more than 70 vehicles killing Afghan police and soldiers as it was transporting winter supplies in the western province of Badghis. Most civilian victims of Afghanistan's 2001-2021 war have been left "without justice, reparation or even acknowledgement" of their suffering, the UN said on September 1, 2026. "The world has forgotten us," one of them told AFP in Kabul. (Photo by DAVID FURST / AFP via Getty Images)
