In Afghanistan, 9/11 began two days earlier when commander Massoud was assassinated; this was the first step of the attacks that Al Qaeda carried out in New York and Washington. The United States reacted by bombing and invading Afghanistan.
When the troops from the largest military coalition in history arrived to secure stability and reconstruction, many Afghans hoped for a future of peace and democracy. Again, their expectations would soon be shattered. In this episode, among others, we follow the stories of US General Stanley McChrystal; of Taliban Minister of Finance Motasim; and of Nilufar Ibrahimi, who became a doctor and, later, one of the female members of the Afghan Parliament.
Ann an Afganastan, thòisich 9/11 dà latha roimhe le murt an ceannard Massoud; b' e seo a' chiad cheum ann an ionnsaighean Al Qaeda air New York is Washington. Choisinn sin gun do rinn na Stàitean Aonaichte bomadh is lunnadh air Afganastan. Nuair a nochd feachdan a' chaidreibh-airm a bu mhotha riamh airson sìth a ghleidheadh is airson ath-thogail a thòiseachadh bha mòran Afganaich an dòchas gun tigeadh sìth is deamocrasaidh. Ach bhiodh briseadh dùil aca. San earrann seo am measg eile, leanaidh sinn sgeulachdan an Seanalair Ameireaganach Stanley McChrystal, Ministear Ionmhais an Taliban Motasim, agus Nilufar Ibrahimi a bha na dotair is a-rithist am measg buill bhoireann na Pàrlamaid Afganach.
