Pashtuns have always dominated Afghan politics, and attempts to exclude them from power have historically resulted in bloodshed. Politically, Pashtuns span a wide spectrum of views. Although the Taleban was predominantly made up of Pashtuns, there are also many Pashtuns who did not support the Taleban See also: Full cabinet list
