Amnesty International, an international human rights organization, has published a report on the minority Hazara community in Afghanistan. In this, it has been told by the eyewitnesses that how the Taliban are atrocities on the Hazara community. In Ghazni, where the Taliban captured last month, nine thousand people were brutally slaughtered in a small village. Amnesty says that 9 people have been a small part of the number of people killed by the Taliban in the Hazara community since July.

 

First read the eyes of that eyewitness, based on which the report was prepared...

 

Amnesty interviewed a villager in Mundarakht, a small village in Ghazni, who was an eyewitness to the massacre. He said, "On July 3, a bloody battle broke out between the Afghan forces and the Taliban. Out of fear, we left our village and went to our pastures during the summer season. These are our traditional hideouts where Temporary houses have been built. When we 30 families had fled from the village, we did not have enough food and drink."

 

"On the morning of July 4, 5 men and 4 women returned to the village to collect some supplies. We saw that our houses had been looted. The Taliban were waiting for us lying comfortably."

 

"45-year-old Wahid Karaman was picked up from his house by the Taliban. His arms and legs were severed. He was shot in the leg and his hair was pulled out. His face was crushed. Zafar, 63, Rahimi was also brutally beaten up similarly. After some cash was found in his pocket, the Taliban accused him of working for the Afghan government. After this, the Taliban strangled Rahimi with his muffler. He was buried by three people from the village. They told that he had wounds all over his body and even the muscles of his arm had been uprooted.

 

"The Taliban dragged 40-year-old Abdul Hakim from the house and beat him with sticks and butts of guns. His arm was dislocated. Two bullets were fired in the leg and two in the chest. His body was dumped in a nearby pit. We Shrouded everyone. We asked Talibanis why are they doing all this, they replied - When there is war, everyone dies. It doesn't matter whether you have guns or not. Everyone has to die. "

 

“This cycle of killing continued for two days. Three more people – Ali Jan Tata (65), Zia Fakir Shah (23), and Ghulam Rasool Reza (53) were killed. These people left Mundarakht and went to their nearby villages. They were trying to leave. They were stopped at the Taliban check post and were killed there. Two people were shot in the leg and chest. Zia Fakir had so many bullets on his chest that he had to be buried in pieces. "

 

“Three more people were killed in their homes. Saeed Ahmed, 75, was pleading with the Taliban that he was old and that he should be spared, he had to feed his animals. The Taliban had shot him three times. Zia, 28, was a victim of depression and rarely came out of her house. She refused to leave the house when the Taliban captured the village. Her mother pleaded and left the house. Alone in the nearby areas, He was caught and killed by the Taliban when he was going to Mumbai. Similarly, 45-year-old Karim Bakhsh, who was suffering from mental illness, was also shot in the head.

 

The era of panic returned for the Hazara people after 23 years

On 8 August 1998, Taliban fighters started creating chaos as soon as they entered Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan, where they were shot, for several days, thousands of people of the Hazara community were selectively killed. The Taliban did not even allow the dead bodies to be buried. Then the Taliban governor of Balkh, Mullah Mannan Niazi, said in a speech: "Uzbeks go to Uzbekistan, Tajiks go to Tajikistan and Hazaras either become Muslims or go to cemeteries."

 

Now after 23 years, Taliban rule has returned to Afghanistan once again. Thousands of people are in a panic about this. There have been reports that in many places their daughters are being forcibly married by Taliban fighters. However, this has not been confirmed yet, while there are reports of massacres in some areas.
