GHAZNI (HRNW) – In the governor’s compound of Afghanistan’s Ghazni province, a new historical exhibit is unveiled before a rapt audience of Taliban fighters — sections of blast walls from a former US military base.
One concrete slab is inscribed with the names and regiments of US troops who served in the province during America’s longest war.
Like soldiers throughout history, US troops regularly daubed their names on the walls of bases and fixed positions they occupied.
But now the towering block is on public display — being used to bolster the Taliban’s narrative of toppling US-led forces after 20 years of fighting.
“We have to show this so that Afghans, the world, and future generations know that we beat the Americans,” Taliban provincial culture chief Mullah Habibullah Mujahid told .
