Description

This article delves into the systemic discrimination faced by the Hazara ethnic minority and women in Afghanistan, highlighting the dangers of the Taliban's regime and the ongoing human rights violations. It explores the historical context of discrimination against Hazaras, spanning over a century, and examines the Taliban's renewed oppression of women, emphasizing the perilous situation they endure. Through real-life stories and statistics, the author argues that the situation in Afghanistan is a critical example of genocide in progress, with stages of discrimination, dehumanization, and potential annihilation of entire populations. The post calls for global awareness and action, urging individuals to confront bias, support marginalized communities, and advocate for change to prevent further atrocities. Comparable works include Samantha Power's "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide" or "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay
