Hundreds of Hazara families were forcibly evicted from their homes late last month, sparking fears that an ethnic minority that was targeted by Afghanistan’s previous Taliban regime is being persecuted again.
“It was very difficult,” Gulsom said in a WhatsApp voice message Thursday, adding that the Taliban had taken everything from them.
The couple, who did not wish to give their last names or the name of their village because they feared persecution, said they had previously relied on subsistence farming to feed themselves. Without access to their crops, they said they did not know how they would survive.A photo taken by Mohammad purportedly shows Hazara families in Afghanistan's Daykundi province leaving their homes in after they were ordered by the Taliban to evacuate their houses earlier this month.
But human rights activist Dr. Saleem Javed said the Taliban were using the Shariah to justify the takeover of long-held Hazara land. Javed, who along with other activists has been tracking Taliban actions in Hazara villages, estimated that at least 1,500 families had been forced out of their homes in Afghanistan’s Daykundi and Urugzan provinces, although he said the number could be double that.“These people are simple farmers, villagers. They do not have a way of income,” he said. “These lands and villages, they belong to them … But the Taliban do not give heed to this.
