Konduz کندز

Konduz (کندز), also written as Kunduz, is a city in northern Afghanistan. The capital of Kunduz Province, it is connected on the major highway to Mazar-e Sharif, Kabul, and the border with Tajikistan. Konduz has a population of 95,000. It is located at an elevation of 397 m (1,302 ft). The city is in the Afghanistan Standard Time, which is UTC+4:30.

The history of Konduz goes back to at least the 3rd century AD, when it was the site of a Buddhist learning center known as Drapsaka. In the early 20th century, under the governance of Sher Khan Nasher, it was one of the wealthiest provinces in the country, deriving its wealth for the Spinzar Cotton Company, which is still in existence.

Konduz was the last major city to be under the control of the Taliban to fall to the US-backed Afghan Northern Alliance. It is a major agricultural city and producer of wheat, rice and other crops.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
