@hrw, July, 1999: Taliban bombed the town of Dara-i Suf, a predominantly Hazara enclave in Samangan, with incendiary cluster munitions; ground forces burned down the entire central market and destroyed wells and homes. Later 500 Hazaras were killed by Taliban. #TalibanWarCrimes
According to @hrw in May 2000 Taliban forces summarily executed at least thirty-one Ismaili Hazara civilians near #RobatakPass, northwest of Pul-i Khumri in Baghlan province.

The deep rooted hatred of of towards Hazara is beyond imagination levels 👇
Taliban Massacred 14 members of Hazara community which includes 12 former members of ANDSF, plus 2 civilians including an eight YO girl. Incident took place in Khedir district of #Daikundi province after ANDSF members handed over their weapons to taliban.
Yesterday @EzzatMehrdad also reported about this incident.
Taliban amnesty = target killing when there are no international media around.

Here is the link to the Washtington Post journalist's report about this massacre
#MazarMassacre: There is no way to precisely know how many were killed in weeks following the fall of Mazar to Taliban in 1998. Hazaras & Uzbeks were killed in reprisal for killing thousands of Taliban after a failed attempt by Taliban to take Mazar in May-July 1997. Source HRW.
Taliban tried to take Mazar twice before Aug1998. After Taliban killed Pres Najib in 1996, there was an attempt for peace. "I’ve proposed to Taliban not continue with this war since it’s better to solve our problems peacefully, through negotiations rather than fighting,” -Dostum.
For background from my thread on Pres Rabbani. Dostum ended up welcoming him to Mazar when Taliban took Kabul. A stronger alliance was made with Rabbani/Massoud. The fighting continued into 1997 and 1998.
