-------------------------------
Kunduz (?????) is the capital of the Kunduz Province of northern Afghanistan; the name
has also sometimes been rendered as Kund?z,
Qonduz, Qond?z, Konduz, Kond?z, Kondoz, or Qhunduz.
The city was anciently known as Drapsaka, and was a place of importance visited by
Alexander the Great. Under the governance of Sher Khan Nasher, Kunduz became one
of the wealthiest Afghan provinces in the early 20th century. This was mainly due to
Nasher's founding of the Spinzar Cotton Company which continues to exist in post-war
Afghanistan. Kunduz is located at 36.73°N, 68.86°E, at an elevation of 397 meters
above sea level. In the 1979 census (most recent) Kunduz had a population of 53,251
people. It is now estimated to have risen to 95,000 (2002 official estimate).
Kunduz was the last major city held by the Taliban before its fall to US-backed Northern
Alliance forces on the 25/26 November 2001. Before its fall, witnesses report seeing
Pakistani aircraft airlift up to five thousand Taliban and Al-Qaeda troops from the
city.
