“New Afghan City,” CNN calls it, without a shred of irony.

I for one look forward to the tram lines and casinos.

Jalal,

Nice try. He’s a Dari-speaking Kabuli of Pashtun heritage.

Anybody who was strongly anti-Taliban in the 1990s got labeled as Panjshiri by Afghan Mellat enthusiasts and similar Taliban apologist types. Hence the mis-identification by numerous people.
