According to reports, at least four people were killed and three others were wounded following tension on a cemetery plot land in Bagrami district of capital, Kabul.
However the cemetery is a government land, one of the relatives of the victims said that the tensions rose up due to the tension on land grabbing.
Spokesman of Kabul police commander confirmed the incident to the media outlets.
The vast majority of land in Afghanistan is untitled and unregistered, further complicating the Afghan state’s ability to help sustainably resolve land disputes.
Land disputes are a primary driver of conflict in Afghanistan. Population pressures, rapid urbanization, displacement and resettlement, and rising land value have increased competition for land since 2002.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Afghan state tried to formalize land ownership, but the effort was limited and primarily urban. Most of the documentation created has since been destroyed, lost, or deliberately falsified. No more than 20 percent of land in Afghanistan is accurately titled.
