February 1983, White House. The then-President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, welcomes Afghan Mujahideen, whom the U.S. supported both financially and with modern military equipment in the war against the USSR.
Those were the years when the future leader of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was fighting alongside the «freedom fighters» —as the Mujahideen were called—in Afghanistan and received close assistance from the United States.
This image will serve as a record to remind us how easily alliances shift throughout history, with the people as their perennial victims.
