Taliban have appointed the governors for the 34 provinces of #Afgh. Of the 34 people, there are only 5 Tajiks, one Uzbek, and one Turman, but no #Hazaras. Hazaras constitute 1/3 of the population.
Why have we stopped talking about the forced displacement of Hazaras by the Taliban? They have now started to kick out Hazaras out of their homes in #Helmand!
This is a long term campaign by the Taliban and requires us to continue & address the issue!
Suicide attack at #Shia mosque in #Kandahar during Friday prayer today resembles what we saw last week in Kunduz at a #Hazara mosque. High casualties is feared.
Today is #HazaraBlackDay, we remember the Hazara genocide at the hand of King Abdur Rahman Khan and beyond. It’s also a day for Afghans around the world to educate themselves so the burden of educating us is not on Hazara signings. Book recs by @Kohnahdeh#StopHazaraGenocide
History repeated itself in August 1998 in Mazar where over 8000 Hazaras were killed by the Taliban. Hazara are at risk genocide under the Taliban regime again. They are being displaced from their homes and tortured and we cannot keep silent! #HazaraBlackDay#StopHazaraGenocide
#طالبان افراد متهم به آدمربایی را بدون حکم محکمه نخست تیرباران و پس از آن در چهار نقطه مهم شهر #هرات آویزان کردند.
افرادی زیادی هم برای دیدن این صحنه وحشتناک جمع شدند و با اجساد سلفی میگرفتند.
My name is Homira. My land has been #occupied since 1890s.
My family may be direct survivors of 1890 Hazara Genocide originally from Zabul but displaced to Ghazni.
(Thought I’d tweet my version of how our land is occupied)
During the 1890s Hazaras lost many cities as our lands were confiscated and were given to Pashtuns as gifts. As a result, hazara population in these cities are close to zero. Today, 300 families were threatened to leave their homes in Daykundi or they will face the consequences.
