	Telegraph \| News \| Haji Abdul Qadir
		When the mujahideen took power in 1992, Qadir became governor of the eastern province of Nangahar - the second-largest opium producing area in the country - and came under frequent attack for encouraging, and profiting from, the opium trade.
		The province of Nangahar was eventually split between three governors, who were later resentful when Qadir alone was given control of the area last year.
		But when the Taliban took over the Nangahar province in 1996, Qadir was forced to leave the country, and fled to Germany, then Dubai, where his brother Abdul Haq had set up an internet cafe.

		The eight-day workshop was held in Ghazni Province and included the participation of the governor of Ghazni, numerous district governors, religious leaders, local leaders, and two women.

		After the mujahideen took power in 1992, Haji Qadir became governor of the eastern province of Nangahar, which gave him control over the smuggling trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as the second largest opium-producing area.
		It was a hotly-contested job and the province was soon split between him and two other warlords, Haji Zaman and Hazrat Ali, who had all fought together against the Russians, but turned their forces on each other.
		The chosen President, Hamid Karzai, a fellow Pashtun, was, however, always careful to show him the proper respect, and Haji Qadir was one of the country's three vicepresidents last month.
