She does not speak any Pashto, only Persian. However, she is actually of Pashtun origin, of the Noorzai tribe. Which is why she has support from the Pashtun ethno-fascist organizations such as Afghan Mellat. She is a tool used by them to negatively portray the Northern groups inorder to reduce their power and make sure that Pashtuns, either through Taliban or former Communists take all power. This is not known by the Western media ofcoarse since they are just not aware of these details and the Afghan Mellatis have done a good job of promoting her. Ironcally, she is supposed to be a "champion of women's rights", yet she has not done anything for women rights other than use it to try her best to make the northern groups look bad while women are abused in every minute of their lives under Taliban control... she ofcoarse ignores this since the Taliban are Pashtuns. Well that's enough for now. I'll get into these details later.
