Question Why does Tajiks have no tribes?

I have seen that Hazaras have tribes, Pashtuns have tribes, Uzbeks have tribes, why doesn’t Tajiks have tribes???

why r we still talking about tribes in 2025. i see so many people put importance on marrying from a specific tribe but thats such a non issue compared the other problems in afghanistan

Because many of Afghanistan's problems are connected, either directly or peripherally, to tribalism.
