Damanis
Damanis is a Baloch tribe in the Balochistan region which incorporates regions of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The majority of Damanis live in the Balochistan, Kerman, Khorasan and Hormongan regions of Iran, and a minority of them live in Eastern Balochistan in Southern Afghanistan and the Chagai District of the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The chief clans of Damanis are Yarahmadzai, Ismailzai and Gamshadzai.[1]
At the end of the 19th century, the tribe played a significant role in smuggling weapons from the Ottoman Empire to Afghanistan. They also fought against the Seistan Force on the side of Caliph of Ottoman.
