Today marks 18 years since the American invasion of Afghanistan. Our reporters @fatmafaizi and @fahimabed, with the photographer @jimhuylebroek, gathered an oral history of the war, as told by Afghan people whose lives and losses are now defined by it.

After the Soviet occupation ended in 1989, Afghanistan fell into civil war. The Taliban emerged as a brutal power and governed most of the country from 1996 to 2001. "Everyday life was like living in hell," a former commando recalled.http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7
Weeks after 9/11, on Oct. 7, 2001, the U.S. invaded. Raghunath Ashna, a doctor, remembers how it began: "I was listening to the radio all day and night. For 3 months, I thought I would go deaf because Americans bombed so many targets in Kandahar City." http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/S90ZPs7ogK
Anisa, of Bamiyan, said the Taliban killed her 2 brothers in one day and Americans later bombed many homes in her village: "We saw dead bodies lying on the ground. We did not have enough money to rebuild our houses, so we lived in tents for a year." http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/9pvLk4awLz
By 2010, there were more than 100,000 American troops in Afghanistan. The growing number of civilian casualties caused by the international coalition started to turn Afghan public opinion against the occupation. http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/yadQTbp1RB
2014 was a crucial year of transition. The Obama administration set a timeline for withdrawing American forces and handing over security to Afghan authorities. With fewer troops on the ground, both civilian and Afghan-security force deaths climbed. http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/8yA3oxVJbA
The Taliban has since seen a resurgence in Afghanistan. Saleh Mohammad, a retired army officer in Helmand, says it's a country where within one family, one brother might be a member of the Taliban and the other might be a soldier: "We need to accept that." http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/L30Ert25YW
The war has so far killed tens of thousands of Afghan civilians, more than 100,000 Afghan and Taliban fighters, more than 2,400 Americans and more than 1,000 from other countries. http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/bD9wb5cnSo
Asked about the possibility of peace, Zahir Shah, a police officer in Nangarhar, spoke about women's rights: "I want my daughters to go to school. I want a bright future for my children and want to have a home. That is my hope for the future." http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7 pic.twitter.com/hpuY53UEXA
In September, on the verge of finalizing a peace agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban, President Trump called off talks after his bid to invite insurgents to Camp David fell apart. As of Oct. 7, 2019, there are no future peace negotiations planned.http://nyti.ms/2Iwsqi7
If only it was President Hillary pulling the troops out we could get behind it.
