Mohmand Tribe

Abstract

The Mohmand Tribe resides in the Mohmand Agency and the Kunar Province of Afghanistan. The Mohmands live on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, from the Peshawar Basin to the confluence of the Kunar and Kabul Rivers. The Bar Mohmands (Hill Mohmands) inhabit the network of hills between the Kabul and Swat Rivers; these hills connect the Sefid Kuh with the Hindu Kush and form a barrier at the eastern end of the Nangarhar Valley. The Kuz Mohmands (Plain Mohmands) live in the plain country in the southwest corner of the Peshawar District in Kotla Mohsin Khan, Bahadur Killi, Kagawala, Landi, and the surrounding areas.
