Wakhan peninsula, where Afghanistan and China briefly touch each other along a 40-mile border, which snakes its way through deep mountain gorges. The Wakhan’s towering, icy peaks
are mostly over 20,000 feet high, and thinly populated. All of the valleys on the Afgan Border are cut off by snow and ice for months in the winter.
There is an Afghan proverb which says “even the birds can use only their feet” along the corridor’s 120-mile length.
At the time the Afghan jihad began, the 3,000 or so inhabitants, living in the
valleys of the Hindu Kush mountain range and the edge of the Pamirs, were Muslim
Kirghiz tribesmen. They were ethnically affiliated with the people of the then
Kirghiz Soviet Republic, now independent Kyrgyzstan. These hardy mountain
people also enjoyed occasional trade and other contacts with the Kirghiz and
Uighur people next door in China’s Xinjiang.
