	Afghan govt accused of dividing Pakhtoons -DAWN - National; August 26, 2002
		Talking to Dawn here, Amanullah Khan Zadran, the younger brother of Padshah Khan Zadran, former governor of Paktia province, while legitimising their stance, said that Pakhtoons, who formed 60 per cent of the population of the country, should be given fair representation in the central government.
		Amanullah said that the Karzai government was trying to create rift among the Pakhtoons to weaken them by appointing controversial leaders on key posts and allotting areas to their warlords.
		Padshah Khan Zadran remained the governor of Paktia province during the Taliban rule but was replaced by president Karzai last year which sparked infighting among various aspirants for the post.

		Forces led by Padsha Khan Zadran, loyal to the interim administration in Kabul, are battling Afghan tribesmen who have controlled the city since the Taliban fled in late November.
		He also says Zadran was not selected by the interim government and that is the reason why the National Islamic Front resisted his efforts to install himself in the province.
		Zadran's brother, the minister of frontier affairs, continues to assert that Al-Qaeda members are still active in Paktia.

		Zadran maintains there's work for the US to do right now: He says there are still key Al Qaeda strongholds in the villages of Sarana and Azmani that the US has yet to attack, although he says he is all but begging for them to strike.
		But Zadran says the US and its allies were more like snake charmers who didn't play the right tunes.
		A good deal of Zadran's information comes from his older brother, Badcha Khan Zadran, a warlord who until a month ago was the governor of Paktia Province.

		The Zadrans are the largest tribe in southeastern Afghanistan — important enough that last December Karzai appointed one of Khan's younger brothers, Amanullah Zadran, as his minister of borders and tribal affairs.
		But pulling out the plug completely may only confirm the feeling among many here that the US abandons its allies when they are no longer needed, just as Washington lost interest in the mujahideen after the Soviet withdrawal.
