The presence of US forces in Afghanistan since 2001 has played an important role in supporting stable human security. For two decades, U.S. forces have contributed greatly to improving the security and well-being of Afghan society. However, in 2021, the official withdrawal of US troops caused significant changes to the human security conditions in the country. This research aims to analyze the impact of US troop withdrawal on four key dimensions of human security in Afghanistan: political security, health security, community security and economic security. This research uses a qualitative approach with human security theory as an analytical framework to examine changes in the condition of society after the withdrawal of troops. The results showed that after the withdrawal of US troops, political security was destabilized by the return of the Taliban to power, which led to restrictions on individual rights and political freedoms. Health security also declined due to limited access to medical services and many people suffered from illnesses leading to high mortality rates. In terms of community security, women again experienced discrimination that hindered their access to education and employment, denying them their basic rights. In addition, Afghanistan's economy has been weakened by the loss of international aid and increased social insecurity leading to poverty due to the lack of jobs and high unemployment rates. Thus, this study concludes that the withdrawal of US troops has worsened human security conditions in Afghanistan, so that human security in Afghanistan is not created and not achieved. Afghan society under Taliban rule still experiences threats to individual security.
