We will mention some bloody terrorist attacks on Hazaras that recently happened and are the subjective examples of “Genocide” of Hazaras in Afghanistan.
A number of prominent Hazara civil society activist writing an open letter called on the human rights organizations and international community to stop Hazaras Genocide and recognize it.
First- There was a suicide explosion in “Mumtaz” Education center located in Qalae Naw of Barchi in west of Kabul in April 19, 2022. As a result, 5 students were injured. After some hours, there were consecutive explosions in Adul Rahim Shahid High School in west of Kabul.
According to Taliban officials, there were 6 students killed and 11 students were injured. However, local people report more casualties. They say there were only 22 bodies moved to Ali Jenah hospital. They claim 26 students have been killed by the explosions.
Mohammad Mohaqeq the leader of Afghanistan People Wahdat Party criticizing the neglecting casualties by Taliban in a face book note said according to the local peoples reports, there have been 126 students killed, including 54 girl students and 92 boy students. He also said 73 students have been injured, including 26 girls and 47 boys. As usual, ISK accepted the responsibility of the terrorist attack on education centers of the west of Kabul.
Second- There was a huge explosion in Se Dukan Mosque of Hazaras and Shiites in Mazar e Sharif. The local official said 24 people have been killed and 65 people have been injured by the explosion. However, the local witnesses reported 50 people have killed by the explosion.
Ahmad Zia Zendani, the spokesperson of Balkh public health department said 12 people were killed and 58 people were injured. Mohammad Asif Waziri, the spokesperson of Taliban police chief said 20 people were killed and injured by an explosion in a mosque of Shiite Hazaras in in the second PD.
ISK accepted the responsivity of the attack and said 100 people were killed by the attack.
Third- Hazaras were again sacrificed of work and way. In April 26, armed men killed 6 Hazara workers by the American M-16 and the Russian Micaruf weapons on the Darehsuf of Samangan-Mazar e Sharif Highway. Taliban officials said unknown armed had taken off 7 Hazara people in Darehsuf district of Samangan province and then killed 5 of them. After the incident, Mohammad Mohaqeq, the leader of the Afghanistan People Wahdat Party mentioned the names of the victims as the following:
Khairullah son of Mohammad Rahim from Nawamad.
Ghulam Sakhi son of Chaman from Nawamad.
Khalifa Sarwar son of Safar from Nawamad.
Mohammad Younus son of Mohammad Ali from Shbbashak.
Baz Mohammad son of Ahmad Ali from Khawjaboland.
Fourth- Local residents reported Jada e Abresham on April 28, that two consecutive explosion went off in Shiite areas of Mazar e Sharif (Sajjadia station and Containers) which 9 people were killed and 13 people were injured by the explosions.
Taliban chief of police in Balkh province said 9 people were killed and 13 people were injured by the two consecutive explosions in Mazar e Sharif.
Mohammad Mohaqeq, the Leader of the Afghanistan People Wahdat Party said, “the hands of criminal tekfiri terrorists created a catastrophe again killing and injuring many Hazaras in Mazar e Sharif, and according to the local people 11 people have been killed and 18 have been injured.” There has been one child, two women and 8 men killed by the explosions.
Mohammad Mohaqeq has said the conditions of the injured people was not good and may the number of the victims’ increase. People also complained of the Taliban treatment. They told Jade Abresham, “those who had come to save the injured people from the area, Taliban hit them and did not allow them to take care of the injured ones.”
Apparently ISK has accepted the responsibility of the terrorist attack, though the Taliban officials have repeatedly said, ISIS was not physically present in Afghanistan.
Local people accuse Taliban of carrying attacks under the name of ISK. These attacks mainly target Hazara Shiites.
