"The predictable world we had become accustomed to had ended": 25 years of September 11

Now11 September 2026 at 19:49

The predictable world we had become accustomed to had ended, thus marking the 25 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks. This reflection arises in the context of commemorations that analyze the lasting impact of those terrorist attacks in the United States.

Isidro de Morais Pereira is one of the voices that highlights the operational experience gained after the attacks. His military experience includes participation in a mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2002, two years after the September 11 attacks.

During that mission, Pereira established cooperation with American commands in a joint effort to prevent terrorist cells in the Balkans. This collaboration represents one of the operational responses to the threats identified after the 2001 attacks.

The article arises within the framework of the 25th anniversary celebrations of the attacks, showing how Portuguese experience in international missions was shaped by the new global security context that followed September 11.
