A territorial dispute among three tribes in the Adam Khel tribe has led to a deadly clash in Kohat. The conflict erupted over the disputed ownership of a piece of land, which resulted in the loss of 15 lives. The dispute involved the Zarghoon Khel, Akhor, and Sunni tribes. Among the dead were 12 people from the Kundi tribe, which was involved in the firing.
The situation had seemed to be under control a week ago when representatives from all three tribes agreed to maintain peace. However, the Kundi and Akhor tribes violated the agreement and opened fire on each other. The representatives have once again arrived in the area to broker a peace deal.
The root cause of the territorial dispute is the contested ownership of a piece of land. Such disputes are common in tribal areas in Pakistan, where land ownership is not always clear-cut. The lack of a proper land registry system, combined with the complex tribal structure, can lead to conflicts that result in violence and tragic losses.
The conflict has caused concern among the local authorities, who have sent representatives to the area to broker a peace deal. The authorities are working with the tribal elders to resolve the dispute and restore peace. The situation remains tense, but efforts are underway to prevent further violence.
