The Zadran are a branch of the Karlani tribal confederacy.[5][6] They are the largest Pashtun tribal group in Afghanistan's mountainous southeastern region, usually found in areas that are unsuitable for settled agricultural production. They have a reputation for militancy dating to the Soviet–Afghan War. Well-known Taliban fighter Jalaluddin Haqqani, who in later years headed the Haqqani network, is of the Zadran tribe himself, though he is recognized for ending the malik system by forcing Mohammad Omar Babrakzai to leave Paktia province. Babrakzai was the most powerful malik, or tribal chieftain, of the Zadran in the 1980s.[7][8]
It is unclear if Abdulla Khan Jadran Yawan is the immediate successor or predecessor of Mazrak Zadran and Muhammad Umar Babrakzai respectively, or if there were other chieftains between them.
