Hussain Ali Yousufi Chairman Hazara Democratic Party (HDP) was killed yesterday in Quetta.
May God rest his soul in peace!
Who are Hazaras; I asked myself and found the following link
http://www.hazara.net/hazara/hazara.html
Majority of Hazaras belong to the Shia sect of Islam. Many Hazaras also belong to Ismaili and Hanafi sects as well.
Just one example of the oppression they have suffered over the years is the following text from speech given by Mullah Manon Niazi
"If you want to live along with other Afghan ethnic groups, you should never think of sharing and participating in the future government structure. Hazaras! Where would you escape? If you jumped in to the air we will grasp your legs, if you enter the earth we will grasp your ears. Hazaras are not Muslim. You can kill them. It is not a sin. Oh Hazaras! Become Muslims and pray God like us. We won't let you to go away. We will kill you and nobody is allowed to bury the dead bodies till three days…"
Mullah Manon Niazi the appointed Governor of Mazar after Taliban massacred 15,000 Hazaras and raped women.
