Well, the events of that day were a defining moment for the world, leading to the us invasion of afghanistan, And the overthrow of the taliban, accused of harbouring the terrorists. WIth the taliban now back in control, our Correspondent Secunder kermani reports from Kabul 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. 20 years later, the man thought to have planned the 9 11 attacks Khalid Sheikh mohammed And his key associates are yet to stAnd trial. Theyre still being held at Guantanamo Bay, the us Detention Centre in cuba, where inmates dont have most of the protections of us law. When President 0bama took office in 2009 he pledged to close the prison wIthin a year. Nearly 800 men And boys have been detained there 39 remain. Ten of them have already been cleared for release but are still waIting to leave. Only two prisoners have been tried And convicted. 17 have never been charged but will remain in prison for life, deemed a securIty risk. The other ten are still awaIting trial. Five of those men awaIting trial have appeared before a judge in Guantanamo Bayjust this week, wIth the families of some 9 11victims present in the court. The bbc� s Aleem Maqbool met some of them. Yes, Its notjust Khalid Sheikh mohammed who is here, but four others who were implicated in that plot to attack New York And those other sItes 20 years ago. Khalid sheikh mohammed is believed to have conceived of the idea of the attacks, taking It to 0sama Bin Laden And then subsequently planned the attacks. But also, walid Bin Attash is alleged to have trained two of the hijackers. Youve got Ramzi Bin Al shibh, who is thought to have run the Hamburg Cell of the operation, then two others Ammar Al Baluchi And Mustafa Al Hawsawi who are thought to have provided financial And logistical support to the attackers. So all those stories of Loss Weve been hearing all day, well, these are five of the men who Its alleged played a big role in a lot of that loss. And they are here And Itjust so happens that over the last few days they have made their first appearances in a courtroom for more than 18 months the legal proceedings were stalled because of the coronavirus pAndemic. But alongside us in the gallery were Family Members of victims of 9 11 who were observing events including one. Of 9 11 who were observing events including one i spoke to, dr elizabeth berry, who talked in a Memorial Event earlier this day about her brother, billy, who had been a firefighter who died when the North Tower collapsed. And she said there was nowhere shed rather be for this 20th Anniversary than Guantanamo Bay, watching the legal proceedings And seeing the search forjustice. It doesnt get any better than being in Guantanamo Bay on the 20th Anniversary, being part of the first group of people back into the courtroom to see the proceedings start over again, see a Andemic'>Newjudge Post PAndemic And get to talk to your brother to a whole naval station, you know, of milItary heroes. And Its pretty cool. And It doesnt get better because youre optimistic about where things are going And the fact that things have restarted . I feel. Yeah, im very honoured to that people are interested in listening to my brothers story. Im very proud of him. And. Im optimistic because were starting again. For a while there, i thought i might die of old age before we ever came to the conclusion of this trial. Now im beginning to think i have a chance i might actually see the end of It. So, Dr Berry there talking about her optimism about things moving forward, but this was the 42nd pre Trial Hearing of these men over a period of nine years. We still, though, dont even have a Court Date set for the trial Itself. WIth the taliban back in power In Afghanistan, so soon after foreign forces wIthdrew from the country, many analysts are questioning whether western nations need to rethink their approach to terrorism And extremism. We can discuss this wIth Professor Michael Humphrey from the universIty of sydney. Hes an expert on islam in the west, polItical violence And social healing. Thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc world news. Is the world a safer place 20 years on after the us War On Terror . ~. , terror . Well, i mean the general terror . Well, i mean the general Consensus Terror . Well, i mean the general consensus is terror . Well, i mean the| general consensus is that terror . Well, i mean the general consensus is that on one And-yes'>HAnd Yes in the west, because of the degree of coordination, surveillance, cooperation across western powers. You know, there has not beenin powers. You know, there has not been in the 9 11 since 2001. But in terms not being another. But in terms of the question of the future terrorism, that is an ongoing risk. It is a risk in a sense of many other global risks as states try to manage the whole nature of the world in which asymmetric forms of violence are always potential, And also wIth those connections to communIties in the west, those conduIts, the whole history of radicalisation. Why is It so such a difficult threat to neutralise at the moment . Well, the whole wIthdrawal from afghanistan highlights the problem of the solution of the War On Terror, focused On Wards And the transformation states And the transformation states And the transformation states And the hope that he can produce the whole Cold War liberal piece. It has proved extremely difficult in And-iraq'>Afghanistan And Iraq to fulfil that idea And It basically turned out that the milItary Solution Couldnt be translated into a democratic state, a Law Abiding State incorporated in the communIty of international states. So thats kind of one problem. The other problem is the ambItions of the terrorist groups, well, the Jihadist Extremists Groups is purification of muslim.
