1989: Gen Boris Gromov is last Russian soldier to leave Afghanistan. 1842: Dr William Brydon is the last Brit. Yesterday it was the turn of US Army Maj-Gen Chris Donohue, the final American to board the final US military plane out of Kabul.

The Najibullah regime survived the withdrawal of Gromov's army, defeating the Mujahedin attack on Jalalabad, at least until the collapse of the USSR and the ending of Russian military aid 3 years later? The USA has been completely defeated, on the eve of 9/11's 20th anniversary?

And Brydon was the last survivor of a group of 5,000. The rest were picked off on their way to Jalalabad.
Pretty sure there's upto 10,000 contractors still there.

Actually no, I'm not sure, I've heard from un-verifiable sources. So it might be false

You have to admit that the comfort of the departure has increased over time.
So progress is being made on that front.

The enduring message from the people of Afghanistan: we will not be ruled by outsiders.
