The Afghanistan–Tajikistan border is 1,357 km (843 mi) in length and runs from the tripoint with Uzbekistan in the west to the tripoint with the Xinjiang region of China in the east, almost entirely along the Amu Darya, Pyanj and Pamir Rivers, except for the easternmost section along the Wakhan Corridor and divides the ethnic Tajik community into citizens of two countries. The border was largely drawn in the late 19th century by the British and Russian empires during the Great Game, with Afghanistan left as a buffer state between them, and was later inherited by Tajikistan after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. When the border was established, the territory of present-day Tajikistan was under Russian control, while Afghanistan was under British influence. The border area became highly volatile during the 1990s as a result of the Tajikistani Civil War and the Afghan Civil War, with insecurity on both sides contributing to cross-border instability. Security improved after the fall of the Taliban government in Afghanistan in 2001, but the frontier remained porous and weakly policed. Following the Taliban's return to power in 2021, the frontier has seen increased militarization, militant infiltration concerns, and repeated cross-border security incidents.
