Has anyone been to Khost recently?

[Hakim Khan Urgonai]

Oke, and when are you planing to setel there and are you Afghan? Or are you Pashtun from Pakistan?

Maybe 10 or 20 years later.

I am from a Paktikawal family.

Miranshah at night remembers me of the wild west,lol.
There are dogs who will bite you to death,everyone has a gun next to the door,and if you are at wrong time at the wrong place you might get shot,or the dog gets you first.

We have quite alot of relatives there,it soo beautiful.

But onething never to forget,maybe this sounds nationalist....

whenever you cross into Afghanistan,don't forget to kiss the ground and offer two raka of nawafil prayer.

from these accounts, the tribal areas of pakistan don't sound very nice at all. i have driven through khost, but the way people talked about the people across the border(jokingly but serious at the same time) they made it seem like the people there are crazy.

It is not crazy,i even do not cosider it part of pakistan,i consider it as the lawless area of this world,where you have freedom,real freedom.

It is dangerous for those who have never lived or stayed among them.

As for us we are related to some families settling right in Miranshah,and we visit them often.It is at day beautiful amazing,unbelieveable you can enjoy,and do alot of things there,but only with connections,if you don't have any contact,you might be ignored,watched what you do as if you were an agent.

Tribal areas is my favorite place, you can do anything.

Its not the safest, but when its time to die, you die regardless so I'm fine there.

[RevolutionThroughReason]

Nice. Now that place is made for me. But fear Taleban who will cut me to pieces.

do what Abdul Rahman Pezhwak does.



they'll leave you alone if you look like this, no one knows your face. So it can work

[Darweshkhel]

what about Pashtunwali there, as far as I know it has been practised even during Taliban times and it still works well. Seems like there is almost no warlordism. What do they do to keep that place safe? Are there arbaki units? Do they pay taxes? Is it possible to travel there from Kabul and talk to tribal elders?
peace

Here is a youtube video that can bring some insight how Khost really is.

Its mostly a real male dominated society like any other Pashtun citys and vilagers. On the street you almost see no women. So Pashtunwali is still kept alive there when its about women, I don't know how far and how strict they are on other things......
