Life in rural Afghanistan, 25 years after 9/11
CBS News senior foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab visited Wardak province in Afghanistan to report on life 25 years after 9/11 and the subsequent 20-year war. He spoke with Dr. Roshanak Wardak, a gynecologist and former member of parliament, who highlighted the lack of basic infrastructure, such as a standard hospital, despite billions spent by the U.S. The report also showed destroyed villages that were once thriving communities, with many Afghans questioning the purpose of the extensive U.S. involvement.
The report highlights the profound and often unfulfilled promises of nation-building following the U.S. war in Afghanistan, raising questions about the effectiveness of extensive foreign intervention and the lasting impact on local populations.
