Women’s Education: Afghanistan’s Biggest Success Story Now at Risk
With the withdrawal of the International community and U.S troops, serious setbacks are on the horizon for the education of girls in Afghanistan.
Since 2001, after the overthrow of the Taliban, the international community has invested billions into the education sector in Afghanistan.
Over the last two decades, Afghan women had great opportunities to improve their lives in many areas, including education. By 2018, girls made up almost 38 percent — 3.8 million — of students in the country; by comparison only 5,000 Afghan girls were enrolled in schools in 2001. Not only has the enrollment of girls in school increased over the last two decades, but the presence of women in higher education has also risen.

So as I said entirely the Taliban and associates fault, why anyone criticises us and the US etc I don't know.
Just like Iraq.
An entirely legitimate war against a known user of weapons of mass destruction.
The only thing wrong the allies did was go in too late and listen to the fools who allow them to go on for too long when they have gone rogue.

We should only go to war with countries that are threatening us or doing damage to us or our allies. Going to war because we don't like the way things are being run is totally wrong, we don't like what is going on in Yemen but we won't say 'Boo to a Goose' because Saudi Arabia have the Oil and buy lots of arms from us.
