And a Day Of Remembrance draws to a close in the united states, 20 years on from the September 11th Terror Attacks. The events of 9 11 2001 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 Afghanistans 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. Lets stay with that now survivor mark goldwasser, was working near the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001. He described some of what he witnessed that day. The day is for ever seared into my memory. I was at a brokerage on 120 wall st, directly across from the World Trade Center. I heard that a small plane had hit the World Trade Center, the North Building and i quickly moved to our Conference Room which had an expansive view of the fire and both World Trade Centres. It was a beautiful day like today. Magnificent weather. I opened the window and in the 15 minutes between the first and second plane all of downtown New York was filled with sirens, police blocks and i remember paper, A4 Paper flying everywhere. That is what i remembered. It was like a Tickertape Parade and i knew there was no parade that day.
