Khost rebellion (1856–1857)

The Khost rebellion was an anti-taxation revolt that began in early 1856 in the Emirate of Afghanistan. After encountering minor resistance in February 1856, the rebelling Khostwal and Waziri tribesmen besieged the Khost Fort in March. Despite failed peace negotiations in July and August, the rebellion did not end until early 1857.
