Biden’s address Tuesday came just 11 days before the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that precipitated the U.S intervention in Afghanistan. “My fellow Americans, the war in Afghanistan is now over,” Biden said from the White House. “I’m the fourth president who has faced the issue of whether and when to end this war.” “When I was running for president I made a commitment that I would end this war and today I have honored that commitment. It was time to be honest with the American people, we no longer had a clear purpose in an open-ended mission in Afghanistan,” he said. “This decision about Afghanistan is not just about Afghanistan, it’s about ending an era of major military operations to remake other countries,” the president said. At 3:29 p.m. ET on Monday, one minute before midnight in Kabul, the last C-17 cargo aircraft carrying U.S. forces left Afghanistan, effectively ending America’s 20-year military campaign in the country. The Taliban, ousted from power by the U.S. shortly after the 9/11 attacks, now control nearly all of the country.

Of the total number of evacuees airlifted out of Kabul, 6,000 were U.S. citizens. In the final days of the mission, a suicide bomber affiliated with ISIS detonated an explosive near the gates of the airport, killing of 13 U.S. service members and more than 100 Afghans.
