Travel Guide Kunduz

The capital of the province of the same name, Kunduz is a vibrant and vibrant city. There are still a large number of taxis with coloured pompoms. It also occasionally crosses camels. City of passage, Kunduz is traversed by many trucks carrying food products. The men are dressed by the traditional tchapane, this long coat of vibrant colours in the north. Kunduz, a colourful city, is a real patchwork, a kaleidoscope. The great prosperity of this city is quite recent, since until the beginning of the th century it was a swamp. She has suffered from her reputation as a malaria home. Thanks to the cotton plantations and the establishment of international projects, the city has been able to transform itself. The Pashtun minority, of the tribe of Ghilzaï, to the east, was established here in the 1890 s by the «Amir of Iron» Abdur Rahman Khan, in order to weaken the enemy tribes. Populated by Tajiks and Uzbeks, as well as a large pashtun minority, the city is now experiencing a renewed insecurity.Kunduz can only be a stop on the path of Badakhshan. This city does not require that we stop there too long, especially since the security conditions in 2012 have deteriorated.
