Arms Trade Between Europe and Afghanistan Through Muscat
The history of arms traffic between Europe and Afghanistan via Muscat dates to 1881 when Britain backed Afghan independence by supplying rifles from India. Kabul later built a cartridge factory and traded with border tribes, driving frontier tensions until India halted supplies. By 1864 Oman’s sultan benefited from a France treaty enabling arms imports, enticing Afghan and Bedouin traders to seek European and Muscat weapons.
