Many Afghani freedom fighters have lost their lives in this effort and large numbers of civilians have been the subject of reprisals. Chemical weapons are reportedly being used both against freedom fighters and innocent men. women. and children. Millions of Afghanis are refugees. having been forced to flee to shelter in neighboring Pakistan. Three years after the invasion. there are no signs that the Soviets are ready to end their occupation. Despite heavy losses in Soviet personnel. it appears that the Soviets will not leave Afghanistan until they have created a permanent puppet regime in Kabul or placed some areas of that unfortunate country under direct Soviet control.
