LONDON, July 8 — Most British soldiers have been pulled out of Afghanistan, ending Britain’s official role in a two-decades long conflict even as the Taliban are gaining ground and amid fears the departure of foreign soldiers could lead to civil war. “All British troops assigned to Nato’s mission in Afghanistan are now returning home,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson told parliament, praising what British forces had achieved while at the same time acknowledging the “perils” facing Afghanistan.
