(FILES) US soldiers stand guard behind barbed wire as Afghans sit on a roadside near the military part of the airport in Kabul on August 20, 2021, hoping to flee the country after the Taliban's military takeover of Afghanistan. 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 Wakil KOHSAR / AFP via Getty Images)
