Mohamedzai
The Mohammadzai are a Pashtun tribe centered around Qandahar, Afghanistan. Many Mohammadzais can also be found in Afghanistan near Kabul And also Charsadda Pakistan. The tribe that took the throne from the Sadozais after they lost control of the government were the Mohammadzais, both of whom are part of the larger Abdali (Durrani) tribe. The Mohammadzai tribe is one of the most politically active tribes among the Pashtuns. People from this tribe usually have the southern dialect of Pushto and take pride in their Pashtun inhertence. Mohammadzais who live in the vicinity of Kabul, speak Dari rather than their native Pashto. Mohammadzais have been known to be one of the most educated tribes in Pushtun society. The current living king of Afghanistan Mohammad Zahir Shah is also a member of the Mohammadzai tribe. The tribe which lost power from the afghan communist government was the Mohammadzai. All of the Kings and presidents before the Communist Regime all the way up to Payinda Khan was Mohammadzai from Barakzai Lineage. Most Mohammadzais are Landowners, very successful businessmen, and political or philosophical thinkers. During the reign of Amir Abdur Rahman Khan Most Mohammadzais were sent to Northern Afghanistan for more tribal influence on the Uzbek, Tajik, and hazara clans. Therefor creating a more broad based support for his self and his tribe.
