Khogyani (Pashtun Tribe) - Dynamics

Dynamics

The tribe is divided into three sub-tribes: the Kherbon, the Wazir, and the Shirzad tribe. The Khogianis have a long history of conflict with the neighboring Shinwari and Ghilzai tribes.

The Khogyani tended to support the Hizb-e Islami Khalis, as Yunus Khalis was a Khogyani. Whereas the Shinwari tribe tended to support Hizb-i Islami Gulbuddin, headed by Hekmatyar Gulbuddin. The Khogyanis played a prominent role in the revolt that overthrew King Amanullah Khan in 1928.
