Local sources report that tens of nomadic Kuchi families from Pakistan have been relocated to the Khwaja Sabzposh and Shereen Tagab districts of northern Faryab province, promoting fears among native residents.

Since last two weeks, at least 30 Kuchi families have seized over pasture lands of Shereen Tagab’s Astana Baba area and Khwaja Sabzposh’s Loqman area, driving native villagers out of their lands, local sources said.
