Thank you for this information, which is very useful.

Prior to the war all Nuristanis were living in Afghanistan. None were in
Pakistan except for possibly a very small number across the border near my
wife's house in Jinjoret, Drosh, Chitral, Pakistan.

During the War, most Nuristanis were driven out of Afghanistan. I
personally know two Nuristani girls in Canada. I have established a
Nuristani email list at 17 Nuristanis have joined.
A few are in America but I do not know them.

I am often asked to help Nuristanis come to America, but I can no longer
help them because 9-11 has made it almost impossible for any Afghan or
Pakistani to get a visa to America.

I did help 56 Afghans come to America before 9-11, but none of them were
from Nuristan.
