A number of Afghan citizens in Canada, in response to the killing of 14 people in Daikundi province, called for an end to the ongoing genocide against the Hazaras in Afghanistan.

A number of Afghan citizens living in Canada protested against the “genocide” of Hazaras in Afghanistan on Sunday, 22 September, Canadian time, and demanded an end to the genocide of Hazaras in Afghanistan.

These protests were held in the city of Toronto, Canada, with the presence of Canadian civil activists and human rights organizations, and they condemned the attack on the Hazaras in Daikundi Province, in which 14 people were killed.

In these protests, the protesters said that since 2001, there have been 294 similar attacks against Hazaras in Afghanistan, in which more than 2,228 people were killed and 2,837 others were injured.

These protesters also said that the Hazaras in Afghanistan are currently the target of forced migration, cultural suppression and the imposition of heavy taxes by the Taliban group, and they asked the international community to take immediate action in this regard.

These citizens of the country condemned the attacks on the citizens of the country with the slogan “Stop the genocide of the Hazaras”.

Ali Ehsasi, head of the Foreign Relations and International Development Committee of the Canadian Parliament, was also present at this demonstration and said in a statement that the Canadian Parliament and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are aware of what is happening to the Hazaras in Afghanistan.

In the resolution, the protestors said that after the re-establishment of the Taliban group in Afghanistan, the situation of the Hazara people has worsened, so that more than 30 major attacks, including seven attacks this year alone, have been carried out against the Hazaras, resulting in the deaths of more than 560 people and injuries. There were 700 people.

They emphasized that since 130 years, the Hazara people have been facing constant persecution and genocide due to their ethnic and religious identity.

The protesters asked the Canadian government, the international community and human rights organizations to recognize and condemn the ongoing genocide against the Hazara people in Afghanistan.

These protesters demanded immediate action in accordance with international laws to protect the Hazara people and prevent further crimes.

The protesters’ resolution states that the Canadian government and the international community should refrain from normalizing relations with the Taliban and use all available tools to hold the Taliban responsible for human rights violations.

Meanwhile, Northern Justice Monitoring (NJW) in solidarity with the Hazara community and human rights activists has published a statement supporting the demonstrations of Afghan citizens in Canada.

According to this organization, the purpose of this demonstration is to raise awareness and call for immediate international action in response to the horrific violence against millennials.

Justice Monitor North has called on the Canadian government and the international community to recognize the brutal crimes against millennials and take decisive action to prevent further violence.

Canadian Parliament member Chandra Arya has said in a statement that the increasing violence against the Hazara community in Afghanistan is very worrying. He added that the suffering of Hazara people needs immediate attention.
Chandra Arya said: “The continued violence is a cause for concern and it is clear that urgent action by the international community is necessary.”

Meanwhile, 14 people were killed and more than 3 others were injured in the shooting on Thursday (22  Sunbula) on the residents of Daikundi.

The next day, ISIS claimed responsibility for the incident and said that 15 people were killed and 6 others were injured.

Meanwhile, on Saturday night, the Taliban group destroyed the 22nd intersection of Abdul Ali Mazari, the former leader of the Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan, in the west of Kabul. An event that has faced widespread reactions.

On the other hand, the World Council of Hazaras in a resolution called this action of the Taliban “cultural and identity genocide” of the Hazara people in the country.
