    Culture of Afghanistan

    • People: Afghans are very proud of their land, religion and ancestry. They value their independence beyond life.
    These highlanders are known for their loyalty to the clan, and due to clan warfare, they seem always up-in-arms to
    settle disputes. However, this is wrongly interpreted as a preference for violence. This particular trait is the result of
    consistent foreign invasion.
