Ahmed Wali Karzai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmad Wali Khan Karzai, younger brother of Hamid Karzai, president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is the representative for southern Afghanistan in Kandahar. Ahmad Wali Khan Karzai was chosen as a representative of Kandahar province for the 2002 Loya jirga and also the 2004 Constitutional Loya Jirga. Karzai is also an elder of the Popalzai, a pashtun clan. It has been alleged that he is a prominent figure in the global drug trade, controlling a significant proportion of Afghan heroin production, though there is no solid evidence against him. Ahmad Wali Karzai has expressed deep concerns over these allegations to the Drug Enforcement Agency but received no response. [1]
