Bahramcha
View on WikipediaBahramcha (Pashto: بھرامچه; Dari: بھرام چاه) is the capital of Dishu District in Afghanistan's southern Helmand Province.[3] It has an estimated population of about 19,032 people.[2] There is an official border post near the Durand Line (Afghanistan-Pakistan border), which is one of the routes used by the Afghans in Pakistan to enter Afghanistan.[4][5]
Key Information
Smuggling route
[edit]During the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021), Bahramcha was sometimes used by suspected Taliban members to export poppy to Pakistan for processing, becoming an important center of the Helmand opium trade.[6] It is claimed that the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance killed over 100 Taliban fighters during a raid in 2011, which badly crippled that trade.[7]
