BOUNDARY BRIEF The Afghan - Soviet boundary is 2,140 kilometers long. In the west the boundary crosses a hilly region for about 702 kilometers between the Iranian border and the Amu Darya (Oxus River). It then follows the thalweg (main channel) of the Amu Darya and two of its headstreams, the Pyandzh (Ab-E-Panj)* and the Pamir, for 1,220 kilometers upstream to Lake Sari-Qul (Victoria). The easternmost 218 kilometers in the Wakhan Corridor follow mountain crests in the Pamirs. II. BACKGROUND A. Geographical The border area between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan may be divided into two parts: the hilly area to the west with elevations of 600 - 900 meters, and the Hindu Kush and Pamir systems to the east with most elevations exceeding 3,000 meters. From the eastern highlands, mountain systems extend westerly north and south of the border area in the Hindu Kush and associated ranges of Afghanistan and in the Gisserskiy Khrebet (mountain range) of the U.S.S.R. Northwest of the border area the land drops to near sea level in the desert of Kara Kum. The drainage is largely dominated by the Amu Darya, whose principal source is Lake Sari- Qul located in the easternmost part of the Afghan - Soviet boundary. The outlet to the lake, the Pamir River, is joined 120 kilometers downstream by the Wakhan River, which drains the eastern end of the Wakhan Corridor (the Afghan "panhandle" stretching east to the Chinese border). Below this junction the Panj River flows through the mountains for nearly 650 kilometers; below the Soviet town of Bagarak it leaves the mountains and for another 240 kilometers flows through a dissected plateau area to a junction with the Vakhsh River, which comes from the north. Thirty kilometers above this junction, at the Soviet railhead of Pyandzh, is the head of navigation for the Amu Darya system. Downstream from the junction with the Vakhsh, the river assumes the name of Amu Darya and meanders across a broad flood plain, marking the international boundary for 300 kilometers before it turns north across Soviet territory to empty finally into the Aral Sea. Below Bagarak the river is broad and meandering with many islands. The left (Afghan) bank is low and subject to flooding; the right (Soviet) bank is firmer and is the site of most of the river towns. In the westernmost part of the border area are two rivers flowing north from the Hindu Kush system: the Morghab, with its tributary the Kushka River, * The transliteration and orthography of place names along this frontier vary widely. See part VIII for a gazetteer of common place names. Diacritical marks are not used in this study. For information on Afghan place name usage, refer to: U.S. Board on Geographic Names, Afghanistan: Official Standard Names Gazetteer (1971). Page 3 loses itself in the Kara Kum sands; the Harirud (Tedzhen) drains the Herat Valley before turning north along the Iranian border to the Kara Kum. Precipitation in the border area generally is less than 10 inches per year except in the Hindu Kush and Gisserskiy Mountains, where it averages 10 - 20 inches. Temperatures in the western hills tend toward extremes, spread from 35° F. in January to more than 85° F. in July. In the highlands, temperatures decrease with altitude. Vegetation is largely grass, low bushes, or desert scrub; grazing and irrigated agriculture are the principal economic activities in the vicinity of the Afghanistan - U.S.S.R. boundary. Along the boundary, the major ethnic groups are the Uzbeks, Tadzhiks, and Turkmen, each of which has a republic in the Soviet Union. About 1.4 million Uzbeks live on the Afghan side of the boundary, mostly in the central section. Tadzhiks are found in the eastern border area, beginning near the Afghan town of Qonduz, while Turkmen inhabit the western area. The international boundary passes through thinly populated regions. On the Soviet side the principal city is Termez (pop. 35,000), smaller towns include Kushka, Bagarak, and Khorog. Dushanbe (formerly Stalinabad), capital of the Tadzhik S.S.R., is 160 kilometers north of the Amu Darya. Afghanistan has only villages along the boundary. Thirty to 50 kilometers south, at the foot of the mountains, are such towns as Meymanah (55,000), Mazar-e-Sharif (97,000), Qonduz (80,000), and Khanabad (30,000). Farther east, Feyzabad (65,000) is a focus of routes to the eastern panhandle. A Soviet railroad parallels the Amu Darya upstream to Termez, where a line loops north to Dushanbe and then back to the river at Nizhniy Pyandzh. Soviet roads follow the boundary except in the eastern Wakhan sector, and even here a Soviet highway crosses the Pamirs about 85 kilometers north of the boundary. The Soviet roads and railways in the border area are connected with the major trans-Caspian network via the Amu Darya Valley. The Afghans have few roads in the boundary sector. In the Wakhan Corridor, travel is along trails and tracks; movement by wheeled vehicles is virtually impossible. Of the three fixed span bridges connecting the U.S.S.R. and Afghanistan, two are over the Amu Darya and one over the Kushka. A bridge over the Amu Darya which connects Termez in the U.S.S.R. with Afghanistan was completed in 1982. The bridge over the Kushka, built in 1960, accommodates a single broad-gauge railroad track. It connects with the Afghan town of Towraghondi about 5 kilometers south of the border on the Afghan highway leading to Herat. B. Historical The history of the delimitation of the Afghan - Soviet boundary reflects the 19th century Anglo - Russian struggle for hegemony in south central Asia. The British were anxious to maintain a unified buffer area to the northwest of India which could serve as a check on both Russian and Persian expansion. The Russians, moving southward in the mid-19th Page 4 century, eventually conquered the Khanates of Khiva and Bokhara, bringing Russia's borders to the area of the upper Amu Darya. In 1873, Great Britain and Russia signed an agreement wherein they stipulated that: (1) the eastern Badakhshan area as well as the Wakhan Corridor to Lake Sari-Qul were Afghan territory; (2) the Amu Darya was the northern Afghan boundary as far west as Khwaja Salar; and (3) the boundary from the Amu Darya to the Persian border on the Harirud was to be delimited by a joint Russian - British commission. Not until 1885, however, was any move made toward delimitation of a boundary west of the Amu Darya. Although the Afghans put forth historical claims to the Pandjeh Oasis on the Morghab River, the Russians in spring 1885 sent military forces to the area and occupied it. In September of that year, a Russo - British Protocol was signed in London defining the boundary west of the Amu Darya. During the next three years, a binational commission demarcated this sector of the boundary, erecting 79 boundary posts. Because the village of Khwaja Salar no longer existed, a dispute arose over where the boundary should leave the Amu Darya. Eventually the Russians agreed on the town of Kham Ab

International media has focused on Afghanistan these past few days and rightly so as the appalling situation left behind continues its descent into utter chaos. Little mentioned however has been the possibility of restructuring Afghanistan’s supply and trade chains after twenty years of war. While the Russians will largely provide security in the region, China will provide the financing and help build the infrastructure and encourage industrialization and trade in return for peace and security. People tend not to fight when they are in the process of transforming their lives for the better, and Beijing understands this, although much of the social problems are the Taliban’s responsibility to solve. There are several options for China to instigate trade routes with Afghanistan. In this article I discuss the Wakhan Corridor, the finger of Afghanistan that reaches east to the Chinese border, existing trade routes via Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and the potential to further develop the Karakorum Highway route through the Khunjerab Pass and ultimately via Peshawar to Kabul.

  • Translitterering Och Alternativa Geografiska Namnformer
    TRANSLITTERERING OCH ALTERNATIVA GEOGRAFISKA NAMNFORMER Version XX, 27 juli 2015, Stefan Nordblom 1 FÖRORD För många utländska egennamn, i första hand personnamn och geografiska namn, finns det på svenska väl etablerade namnformer. Om det inte finns någon sådan kan utländska egennamn dock vålla bekymmer vid översättning till svenska. Föreliggande material är tänkt att vara till hjälp i sådana situationer och tar upp fall av translitterering1 och transkribering2 samt exonymer3 . Problemen uppstår främst på grund av att olika språk har olika system för translitterering och transkribering från ett visst språk och på grund av att orter kan ha olika namn på olika utländska språk. Eftersom vi oftast översätter från engelska och franska innehåller sammanställningen även translittereringar och exonymer på engelska och franska (samt tyska). Man kan alltså i detta material göra en sökning på sådana namnformer och komma fram till den svenska namnformen. Om man t.ex. i en engelsk text träffar på det geografiska namnet Constance kan man söka på det namnet här och då få reda på att staden (i detta fall på tyska och) på svenska kallas Konstanz. Den efterföljande sammanställningen bygger i huvudsak på följande källor: Institutet för de inhemska språken (FI): bl.a. skriften Svenska ortnamn i Finland - http://kaino.kotus.fi/svenskaortnamn/ Iate (EU-institutionernas termbank) Nationalencyklopedin Nationalencyklopedins kartor Interinstitutionella publikationshandboken - http://publications.europa.eu/code/sv/sv-000100.htm Språkbruk (Tidskrift utgiven av Svenska språkbyrån i Helsingfors) Språkrådet© (1996). Publikation med rekommendationer i term- och språkfrågor som utarbetas av rådets svenska översättningsenhet i samråd med övriga EU-institutioner. TT-språket - info.tt.se/tt-spraket/ I de fall uppgifterna i dessa källor inte överensstämmer med varandra har det i enskilda fall varit nödvändigt att väga, välja och sammanjämka namnförslagen, varvid rimlig symmetri har eftersträvats.
