Rashidan District is a new district in Afghanistan; it was created from the larger Jaghatu district.

Administration

The capital appears to be Rashidan, a new township near Hussain Khel and Qulgina.

Demographics

12,279 people are living in the villages of the district,[2] with 96% of them Pashtun and 4% Hazara.[3]

Water Shortage

The continuing drought is the main problem of the district. In 2002, only 6% of arable land was farmed.[3] The lack of water make people leave their villages and go to other districts or abroad.

Trade and Commerce

Many are actively employed in the lucrative trade and commerce of goods across the border in neighboring Pakistan.
