Local authorities, tribal elders, and religious scholars have successfully mediated the resolution of long-standing tribal disputes in Kunduz and Kapisa provinces, marking the latest in a series of reconciliation initiatives.

In the Aliabad district of Kunduz province, a decade-long land dispute between the Umar Khel and Timuri tribes has been formally concluded. The conflict, which resulted in one fatality and significant financial losses, was addressed through a mediation process attended by Kunduz Governor Maulavi Nasrullah Mati. Provincial officials stated that the agreement aims to restore stability and prevent further hostilities in the region.

Separately, a four-year feud between the Adel and Zalmai families in Tagab district, Kapisa province, was also resolved following similar mediation efforts. The dispute had previously led to one death before local authorities and community leaders facilitated a settlement. Kapisa provincial director Mullah Sadiqullah Sayyad confirmed the resolution and emphasized the role of religious scholars and elders in reaching the agreement.

According to provincial officials, these settlements are part of broader reconciliation efforts by the Islamic Emirate across the region. Authorities reported that approximately five hundred tribal disputes and hostilities have been resolved in Kunduz province since the administration returned to power. The initiatives continue to rely on traditional mediation frameworks, combining government oversight with community and religious leadership to address longstanding grievances and reduce local violence.
