Kukmang is a residential town and one of the 51 union councils of Abbottabad District in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[3]
History
Most of the families living in Kukmang belong to Abbasi (Sararra, Dhund) and Qureshi clans. In the 700s, there were frequent clashes between the Umayyads and the Abbassids for the throne in the Arab world. As a result of these power struggles, many people of Arabia decided to migrate to different regions, including Pakistan (Kokmong). The migration to Pakistan and other regions was primarily driven by a desire to escape the violence and chaos that was prevalent in the Arab world at the time.
