US forces leave Afghanistanโs Bagram airbase after 20 years
Withdrawal a clear indication that the last of 2,500-3,500 US troops have left Afghanistan or are nearing a departure.
"At its peak, Bagram airbase saw more than 100,000 US troops pass through its sprawling compound 50km (30 miles) north of capital, Kabul."
"The US departure is rife with symbolism. Not least that it is the second time that an invader of Afghanistan has come and gone through Bagram."
