Mohmand is one of the strongest^{[citation needed]} Pashtun tribes, living in Afghanistan and western North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan. Mohmands still live under "strict" medieval tribal laws, and follow the customary feudal "code of honour", Pashtunwali. Like all Pashtun tribes, they are extremely primitive and backward, living a wild and violent life in mountain wastelands, with material standards a little better than that of the stone age and rely on crime to earn a living - indulging in smuggling, banditry, kidnapping, gun running, narcotics production, car theft, counterfeiting and forging. Their "legal" jobs consist mainly of daily wage labour in the urban areas, trucking, owning tea stalls and being shoeshine boys. They pay no taxes at all, and insist on the use of free electricity. Literacy and education are extremely low. Pakistan and Afghanistan are both unruly and lawless societies to begin with, but even their regular laws don't apply in their autonomous Pashtun tribal territories. For this reason, the Pashtun tribal areas also welcome and give refuge and protection to all kinds of fugitives and outlaws from "settled" (i.e. regularly policed) districts. Although the Mohmands and other Pashtun tribesmen belong basically to the ancient pastoral nomadic cultural way of life, their continuous petty clan rivalries, blood feuds and and tribal clashes involve the use of the most sophisticated heavy artillery, mines and rockets - most of which have come to them from the Afghan civil war and jihad - and which they use without compunction. Since they look down upon modern official state and civil laws, their disputes are decided by the informal, customary jirga gatherings, which closely resemble an amerindian pow wow. It is a gathering in which a large number of rough, mostly illiterate tribal elders sit on a circle on the ground chewing snuff and drinking tea - and can decide anything from imprisonment and fines, to imposing death sentences.
