From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deh Sabz District is situated northeast of Kabul City in Afghanistan. It has a population of 100,136 people (2002 UNHCR estimate). About 70% are Pashtuns, and 30% are Tajiks.[1]
De Sabz borders with Shakardara and Mir Bacha Kot districts to the west, Kalakan and Qarabagh districts to the north-west, Parvan Province to the north and east, Surobi to the southeast and Bagrami and Kabul districts to the south. The headquarters of Deh Sabz is the village of Tarakhel, situated in the south-western part of the district.
The Kabul River flows through the district in its southern end and the main highway (Kabul-Jalalabad) passes along it. Most of its people live in villages. Many houses have been destroyed during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and many people were displaced. The agriculture is the most important source of income, though drougts are a serious problem. The education is relatively good, there are schools for boys and some for girls. The health care is expected to improved by 2011.
