Musa Qala District, Afghanistan
Musa Qala District lies in the northern reaches of Helmand Province, Afghanistan, centred on the town of Musa Qala along the valley of the Musa Qala River.
Long a focal point of agricultural poppy cultivation and strategic military operations, Musa Qala has seen a series of fierce battles—most notably between NATO forces and the Taliban in 2006–07—owing to its control over vital watercourses and its position astride key transit routes through southern Afghanistan
