Afghanistan is still reeling from Friday’s bomb attack in a Shia neighborhood in Kabul that left dozens of people dead and scores of others wounded.
One of the victims of the attack was 18 years old Najiba, whose family is grieving her loss. Najiba’s father says he had raised his daughter with great difficulties but lost her in the blink of an eye.
Sakina Sorosh, Najiba’s sister and a social activist, says that systematic attacks on Shia mosques and schools must end. She calls on the UN to recognize such attacks as massacre.
Beside international bodies and human rights groups, Afghanistan Shia Shia clerics Council has called for investigations into such attacks. The Council called on the global community to end their silence on the miseries of Shia Hazaras in Afghanistan.
Rights groups say the Daesh terrorist group has been responsible for 13 attacks against Hazaras since the Taliban’s return to power. The attacks have killed or wounded at least 700 people from the community.
The latest bomb attack has shocked people here. They are calling on the international community not to turn a blind eye on the plight of Shia Hazaras in Afghanistan.
