References

There is a need for proving all the listed references and adding sources to the sections without any citations, especially the "Mohammadzai" section.

Regarding Daoud Khan

I changed the position of Daoud Khan from "Dictator" to "President", because he was officially a president. In his own wikipedia article, it is mentiond that he governed autocratic. Secondly Im wondering if he was really Head of House of the Barakzai Dynasty, I doubt it, because he ended the monarchy. We need some citation for this claim.

Ancestry part is nonsense

The Ancestral part is such a load of nonsensical garbage, i don't even know how it bypassed mods and made it into the article. Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that the Barakzai let alone Pashtuns aren't descendants of the 10 lost tribes of Israel. That's 16h century Mughal propaganda.

The fact that pseudo-history is being preesented show's why Wikipedia's credentials aren't taken seriously. 2607:FEA8:4D60:590:386A:2CCF:C73:52E (talk) 04:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
