Khyber Agency

Khyber Agency, now part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan, is a historically significant region located along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. It has been a strategic corridor for trade and military movements due to its mountainous terrain. The area is known for its tribal communities and has played a central role in the region's geopolitical dynamics, especially during conflicts involving the British Empire and later, during the Afghan wars. Its history is marked by a blend of diverse cultures and has often been a focal point of security concerns due to its proximity to militant activity.
