Between 1990s-2000s the persecutions continued. Most heinous massacre of Hazara happened in 1998 when taliban entered Mazar-i-Sharifsearched house to house for Hazara males who were gunned down or had their throats slit or were executed by firing squads https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1998/11/28/taliban-massacre-based-on-ethnicity/efe15f81-abed-4e57-96f1-046cc59d1d48/
Since 2001 more than 30 well coordinated terrorist attacks that target hazaras including #enlightenmentMovement have been documented. The attacks took places against Hazara mosques, weddings, sport centers and cultural gatherings to mention a few. https://twitter.com/ObsAfghanistan/status/1260246422651375618?s=20
