Singesar, also spelt Sangesar and Sangsar (Persian/Pashto: سنگيسار), is a Pashtun village 25 miles (40 km) west of Kandahar, Afghanistan, in the Zheray district.
About
The village's name originates from the phrase sang-e-hisar, or stone fort, after an old fort in the area constructed by the British in the 19th century.[citation needed]
It was the former home of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, who lived there between the end of the anti-Soviet jihad in 1989 and the launch of the Taliban movement in 1994. He worked there as a preacher and religious instructor.[1][2]
