Pashtun diaspora

Okay kiddo, so you know how some people move to different places to live and work, right? The Pashtuns are a group of people who live in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but some of them have moved to other countries like the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.

When lots of people from the same group move to a new place, it's called a diaspora. So the Pashtun diaspora is when Pashtuns live outside of their traditional homeland in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

These Pashtuns might have left their home countries for lots of reasons, like for work, school, or to escape violence or persecution. They might still keep some of their Pashtun traditions and culture, but they might also adopt some new customs and ways of life from the country they now live in.

Even though they're not living in their traditional homeland, the Pashtun diaspora still forms a community and tries to support each other. Plus, they often keep in touch with their families and friends back home, sometimes sending money or goods to help out.
