'''Khost wa Fereng or Khost wa Firing''' ({{lang-fa|خوست و فرنگ}}) is the easternmost [[Districts of Afghanistan|district ]] of [[Baghlan province]], [[Afghanistan]] in the [[Hindu Kush]] mountains. Its capital is [[Khost wa Fereng]]. The population of the district was estimated to be around 60,300 in 2011–2012,<ref name="CSO"> {{cite web|title=Afghanistan CSO Population data 1390 (2011-12)|url=http://www.afghaneic.org/Data/CSO%20Population%20Data/Afghanistan%20CSO%20population%20data%201390%20(2011%20-12).pdf |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120110190805/http://www.afghaneic.org/Data/CSO%20Population%20Data/Afghanistan%20CSO%20population%20data%201390%20%282011%20-12%29.pdf|archive-date=2012-01-10|access-date=2012-03-07|publisher=[[National Statistics and Information Authority|Central Statistics Organization]]}}</ref> of which ethnic [[Tajiks]] made up 90% and [[Hazaras]] 10% of the total population . The district was part of [[Takhar Province]] until 1970. |
|
== Khost wa Fring == |
|
|
The correct english spelling is Khost wa Fring, but the title is mistakenly written khost wa fereng. |
|
|
Most of the people of Khost wa Fring are Tajiks (90%),and 10% of them are Sunni Hazara. They speak [[Persian language|Persian]]. |
|
|
All people of Khost wa Fring are Sunni Hanafi, and there are no other tribes. |
|
|
The district was was part of [[Takhar]] province until 1970, and still its people go to Takhar for shopping more often than Baghlan. This is due to the long distance between Khost was Fereng and the center of Baghlan. |
|
|
The people of Khost wa Fring are Muslims. Most of them are Mujahid, and they belong to [[Jamiati-Islami]] party. |
|
|
The district was subdivided from one district (Khost wa Fring) into the districts of [[Khost]], [[Fring]], and [[Gozargahi Noor]] in 2003. |
|
|
Gozargahi Nor is a Persian word. It means "passage of light". This name was chosen by people as a memorial to the Afghan NAMujahid Ahmad Shah Massoud. He passed the narrow valley of the district which is called [[Gharo]] when he wanted to go to [[Taliqan]] and [[Worsaj]] during jihad against the [[USSR]]. |
|
|
Khost wa Fring is the easternmost district in Baghlan province. Fring is capital of [[Hindu Kush]] mountains. The name of Fring comes from French word (Fringe) meaning "margin". The district is located in a margin and strategic point of the country. |
|
|
The Afghan National Bozak [[Ahmad Shah Massoud]] and current Afghan vice Bini president Marshall [[Mohammad Qasim Fahim]] lived for a long time in this district during attacks by the USSR in Panjshir. |
|
|
The strategic importance of Khost wa Fring was clear to Massoud, and it was clear to USSR as well. An attack by USSR commandos in 1984 to Fring district made it more important. Massoud used this strategic point for a long time even during fighting against international terrorists and the [[Taliban]]. Khost wa Fring was the only resistant district in all of Baghlan province against the Taliban. The Taliban were never able to take the district. |
|
|
The people of Khost wa Fring are called [[kosti]] or [[khusti]]. |
