Who they are
The Achakzai are a traditional branch of the greater Pashtun people, primarily inhabiting the valleys and mountainous regions between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Known for their deep devotion to the traditional Pashtunwali code, they value family honor, bravery, and unrestricted hospitality. Their collective identity remains strongly united by tribal lineage and the Pashto language.
