THREAD on #MazariSharifGenocide on 08/08/1998, the Taliban carried out a grotesque systematic offensive against the Hazaras of Mazar-i-Sharif (northern Afghanistan). Displaying no remorse, the Taliban killed at least 8,000 with only one discriminatory aim: to eradicate
Hazaras, regardless of gender and age. The Taliban fired mercilessly through means of machine guns mounted on vehicles. Below is a heart-wrenching account of a mother and her son, whose life was taken far too early. The Taliban also took with them, a mother’s hope and happiness.
The shooting lasted for about 3 hours and later that day and in the following days, the Taliban carried out targeted searches for males to detain and execute, predominantly targeting Hazara males.
The discriminatory chaos ensued as Hazaras attempted to escape the satanic reign of the Taliban, a reign that strips the discriminated ethnic group of any hope and peace.
