Introduction to Kahmad Province, Afghanistan
Kahmard Province (Khost) is located in the southeastern border region of Afghanistan, bordering Pakistan, and is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan. The capital of the province is the city of Kahmard, located at an altitude of about 1,200 meters in the mountains, about 150 kilometers from the capital city of Kabul. As a Pashtun-populated area, the Pashto language is mainly spoken, and the economy is mainly agricultural, producing fruits, wheat and corn.
History and Strategic Position
Kahmad Province has historically been a military stronghold due to its proximity to the tribal areas of Pakistan. It was a focus of conflict during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and during the Taliban regime, and hosted a major NATO military base after the 2001 Afghan War. Its unique geography makes it a hub for cross-border trade and cultural exchange, but it also faces security challenges.
Socio-Cultural and Current Situation
The area retains a traditional Pashtun tribal culture, with men wearing the traditional robe, the pelang, and women commonly wearing the hijab. Infrastructural development has been slow due to the long period of war, but progress has been made in recent years in the field of education, with the University of Kahmad becoming an important educational institution in the region. Peace is gradually returning to the province, where agriculture and border trade are the mainstays of the economy.
