They led to the us led invasion of afghanistan, and the overthrow of the taliban, who were accused of providing a sanctuary for those who planned the attack. With the taliban now back in control, our Correspondent Secunder kermani reports on how 9 11 is remembered there. At this busy market in the west of kabul today, few knew it was the anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. Some simply had no idea what had happened in New York 20 years ago. For others, memories of the tragedy there are steeped In Afghanistan has own struggles. People affected in 9 11 are also human beings. It does concern. I mean, still we are suffering from those things that have been throughout those 20 years. We have suffered more than 9 11 In Afghanistan. The americans, when they came here, they have changed our life. Everything has changed. For the first time, the girls, you know, the school for the girls have improved. Now how do you see the future . Well, i think if it goes like this, it will be difficult for afghans to live In Afghanistan. As you see, a lot of afghans are going out of the country. Two decades after they were overthrown, the talibans flags flutter across the city once again. Their banner, now in front of sites where western missions were once based. Behind this gate is what used to be the american embassy. In front of it, taliban flags are on sale. In fact, you can see a group of fighters who have just purchased some. For many in america this will be a deeply distressing sight. Questions are already being asked about what the last 20 years of war here really achieved. The us did manage to largely defeat alqaeda In Afghanistan. The taliban insist they will never allow anyone to plot Terrorist Attacks from here again. But their victory has emboldened hardliners. This man is not part of the taliban. But he has come here to celebrate their conquest over what he terms the corrupt previous government, which had been backed by the us. The 9 11 anniversary might not mean much for people here. But its legacy is something the country is still grappling with. Decades of war are finally over. Can the future be more peaceful than the past . Secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. Memorials were also held here in the uk to remember those who died, including 67 british people.

Enduring pain for the families affected, but more widely, what is the lasting impact of 9 11 . I think it was really striking, listening to joe i think it was really striking, listening tojoe biden, listening to george w bush, both of them appealing to americans for unity. And you would have to file that under the easier said than done category, because americans are bitterly divided about nearly everything. 0ne bitterly divided about nearly everything. One of my colleagues was down at Street Level when joe bidens motorcade came past and this person started screaming at the motorcade, joe biden, you are a. Murderer and that is a symbol of where america is. I think it underlines why memorials like today are so important. There are probably 100 Million americans who were not born or have no memory of 9 11. I know youre going to talk about the Us Open finals, neither of the players competing in that were born on 9 11. It is very important for america and the world to remember and take heed of what happened that dreadful day.
