1897 in Afghanistan

__NOTOC__"See also": 1896 in Afghanistan, other events of 1897, and 1898 in Afghanistan.----The "amir"'s realm is quiet during the year. Some suspicions that Abdur Rahman Khan is acting unfaithfully towards the British are entirely dispelled by his loyal attitude in refusing to aid the rebel tribesmen engaged in the frontier war, or even to sympathize with them.

January 1897

The Kamdesh Kafirs are being rapidly disarmed. The headmen of the villages in the Bashgal Valley send a deputation to the "sipah salar" (commander-in-chief) requesting him to keep back the force that is to be sent to collect arms in every village, promising themselves to collect the knives, guns, and other weapons, and to hand them over to the Afghans.

May 1897

The "amir" withdraws the officials and irregular soldiers who occupied for a year the Mittai Valley in contravention of the Durand agreement.
