AHMADZAI
AHMADZAI is the last name of an extended family tree, which belongs to one of the larger Pashtun tribesThe Ghilzai Ahmadzai is one of the classic Kuchi (nomads) tribe. Alldough majority of the sub-tribes are settled in villages and small cities and communities, they still keep their nomadic identity in tact. In fact most people refer to Ahmadzi as Kochian. Its a title or nickname. Which refers to their conservative character that is significant for Afghan nomads. The Ahmadzi tribes are spread all across Afghanistan. Yet their accent which is a classic Kochiani accent is similar everywhere. Which a root vocabulary of the Pashto language. In the last two centuries the Ghilzai Ahmadzai is devided in several large families and sub-tribes. Amongst them are: Musah Khel; Isah Khel; Taghar; Jabar Khel; Abu Bakr Khel/Babakar Khal/Bakur Khel and many other sub-tribes and assimilated tribes like Maruf Khel. and batokhel is large in ahmadzai Musah Khel, Isah Khel and Taghar still have nomadic sub-divisions. Unlike Jabar Khel & Abu Bakr Khel. In the course of history, the Ghilzai Ahmadzai has developed itself as a prestigeous tribe. The reason for that is that it use to have strong leaders and a very primitive war-monging character. They use to be a very powerful. In fact, the Abu Jabar Khels are refered to as "Khanan" ( "Lords" or Aristocrats). Even in present time, there are many tribesmen who own hundreds of hectares of fertile land across the country. The former president of Afghanistan, Dr Mohammad Najibullah, and our good leader is haji said khan ahmadzai and also aziz khan ahmadzai are among the famous people of the tribe

murtaza ahmadzai
The Ghilzais (also known as Khiljis or Ghaljis) are one of two largest groups of Pashtuns, along with the Durrani tribe, found in Afghanistan with a large group also found in neighboring Pakistan. They are the most populous Pashtun tribe in Afghanistan, occupying the north of Kandahar and extending eastwards towards the Suleiman Mountains. The Ghilzais are an Afghan tribe of Indo-Aryanized Turkish origin. They came to prominence when the Hotaki sept of the tribe revolted against Persian rule under the leadership of Mirwais Khan Hotak, a devout Sunni. A former state hostage of the Shi'ite Safavids, he obtained a fatwa to lead an uprising against them when he returned from the Haj in Mecca. He succeeded in expelling the Georgian Governor of Kandahar and assumed the post for himself. His eldest son, Mahmud, effected a successful invasion of Persia which culminated in the conquest of Isfahan and the deposition of the Safawi Shah Sultan Husain.
