Dashte Barchi

Dashte Barchi (Dari: دشت برچی) is a settlement located in western Kabul, Afghanistan.[1] Previously barren and agricultural, Dashte Barchi became populated in the early 2000s by newcomers from the provinces, mostly ethnic Hazaras from Maidan Wardak, Ghazni and Parwan, and some Kochi Pashtuns. It is mostly informally-developed. Over 95% of population of Dashte Barchi are Hazara.[2]
