Takhar, Afghanistan

High score (8-10)

Takhar is a northeastern province bordering Tajikistan with a predominantly Tajik population and a border crossing at Shir Khan Bandar that keeps some trade alive. The proximity to Tajikistan historically gave Takhar a slightly different economic character. Under Taliban control, the border trade continues but the social environment for a foreign man is as restricted as everywhere else.

Mid score (6-8) · Your profile

Takhar's Tajikistan border keeps some commercial life moving and gives the province more outside economic contact than the interior. The Tajik population carries different cultural norms than the Pashtun south. But Taliban governance applies the same restrictions here and a foreign man has minimal social options.

Lower score (below 6)

Takhar is Taliban-controlled with the same social restrictions as everywhere in Afghanistan. The Tajikistan border is economically interesting but doesn't create social opportunity for a foreign man.
