Districts of Afghanistan.

Districts of AfghanistanFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The provinces of Afghanistan are divided into Wuleswali

(Pashto: wulswli; Persian: .) or districts

The number of districts in Afghanistan has fluctuated over

the years, with new districts created by splitting or merging

parts of others. Prior to 1979, there were 325 districts. Thiswas increased to 329 and, in 2004, a major reorganization

led to the number increasing to 397. As of June 2005, the

Afghan Ministry of the Interior recognised 398 districts,

divided between the 34 provinces. This number is expected

to change with further administrative reorganization.

The districts are listed below, by province:
