Biography of Abdul Ali Mazari

Abdul Ali Mazari (1946 -- 13 March 1995) was the head and co-founder of the Hezbe Wahdat (Unity Party) during and following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Mazari was an ethnic Hazara, a Shiite Musilm by faith, and believed the solution to the divisiveness in Afghanistan was in federalism, where every ethnic and religious group would have specific constitutional rights.

Mazari's philosophy is still relevant as he believed that the only solution to Afghanistan's conflicts, issues and civil war is a central government that recognizes and accepts every ethnic group's civil and political rights, (the rights to life, protection against violence, to education, to economic opportunities available to others, to have representation in government and to be treated equally before law without any discrimination on the basis of race, gender, ethnicity, political belief, religion and language).

Mazari was a strong voice in Afghanistan against those who excluded Hazaras because of their ethnicity, race, language or religion.

He insisted that Afghanistan should have a government that allowed everyone to participate in its affairs regardless of ethnicity, race, gender, religion and language.

He was the first Afghan political leader who fought for minorities rights and a federal democratic government. He also, argued that Afghanistan is a nation of diverse ethnicity, so it was imperative for all ethnic groups to live peacefully with each other by removing the racial, religious and cultural discrimination against the Hazaras and other minorities and women.

He reminded Hazara people of the injustice done to them in the last 100 years by the dominant ethnic group that created disharmony amongst Hazaras. Mazari was determined not to allow a repeat of the history of Afghanistan when Abdur Rahman Khan (the former Afghan king who was Pashtun) killed 66% of Hazara population during his ruling period from 1840s-1891.

Mazari, also stood against the Al-Qaeda and the terrorist sub-sections of Taliban, who tried to repeat what Abdur Rahman had done to massacre Hazaras.

Mazari was affectionately named by the Hazaras as "Baba Mazari" (father Mazari).

After the takeover of Kabul by Taliban (backed by Pakistan's ISI), Mazari was invited by the Taliban regime in 1995 for political talks. However, instead of talks, Taliban deceitfully captured their guest and killed him ruthlessly along with his aides.
