Conflict analysis: Kunduz city, Kunduz province

This report is a conflict analysis for Kunduz Province and Kunduz City and suggests that promoting solutions to land conflicts should be central to attempts to reduce violent conflict in the region. The historical background of conflict in the province, the fragmentation of authority through small local commanders, a proliferation of parties, ethnic diversity and a thriving licit (and illicit) economy poses a series of challenges to ensuring stability and security for the majority of the population. Resolving land conflict must therefore be central to promoting stability.
