Hazaras in Afghanistan being targeted deliberately

KABUL (Agencies): The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in its latest report on the human rights situation in Afghanistan, covering the months of October and December 2023, has documented several targeted attacks against Hazaras and stated that the perpetrators of some of these attacks remain unidentified.
This UNAMA report, titled “Human Rights Situation in Afghanistan,” has been compiled by the Human Rights section of the organization within the framework of its mandate from the United Nations Security Council.
According to this report, targeted attacks against Hazaras continue to persist in various parts of Afghanistan. In just the months of October and November 2023, at least 5 separate attacks against Hazaras were planned and carried out.
Three deadly attacks against Hazaras in Pul-e Khumri (during a gathering of worshippers) and Kabul (at a sports club and a bus station) on October 13, October 26, and November 7, 2023, resulted in the killing and injuring of at least 126 individuals (40 killed and 86 injured).
While ISIS claimed responsibility for all three of these deadly attacks, the UNAMA report mentions the mysterious targeting of Hazaras in Herat as the main factor in these attacks remaining unidentified and unknown. The United Nations has just released a report on the human rights situation in Afghanistan, at a time when global protests continue in response to what is perceived as the genocide of Hazaras, with demonstrations taking place in nearly 40 cities across different countries around the world.
