Occupation of afghanistan

Afghanistan, which has been in the environment of war and occupation for years and causing many civilian casualties, was occupied by Soviet soldiers on December 27, 1979. It is estimated that 1.5 million people lost their lives in this occupation that lasted until February 15, 1989. Democratic republic was declared in Afghanistan by opposition leftists on April 27, 1978. Administration and the military were in close contact with the Soviets. The coming to power of pro-Russian politicians and anti-people developments in Afghanistan caused problems. People's efforts to express themselves disturbed the forces in power, and Russia was asked to help prevent a possible popular movement. Disturbed by the situation, the Soviets occupied Afghanistan on December 27, 1979 and committed inhumane massacres during this 10-year occupation. Due to the occupation, which is estimated to have lost 1.5 million Afghans, 5 million Afghans also took refuge in refugee camps. The country was drawn into a civil war because of the policies carried out on Afghanistan. Subjected to genocide before the eyes of the world, Afghanistan was occupied by the USA in 2001 and is still under occupation.
