The new project format contains information about the ethnic tribes of Afghanistan. Various tribes belonging to different regions and having different religious and social practices are living in Afghanistan. After the soviets moved out the country there has been a war between all the different tribes. Taliban belonged to the Pushtun tribes while the Northern Alliance was mostly Tajiks and Uzbeks. Various countries support different groups and so a great game emerges in the country with many players each with strong international support. The articles in the links below have been selected to inform the participants about the nature of the problem.
