Afghanistans Hazara Minority at Bamiyan

In the 1990s the caves were filled with mostly Shiite refugees fleeing the civil war raging in Kabul and many other places in Afghanistan. The Bamiyan region is predominantly Hazara, an ethnic minority of Shiites, 3 to 4 million of whom have historically stayed autonomous from Afghanistans other ethnic groups, especially the Pashtun. Thousands of Hazara were killed by in 1893 by the Pashtun King Abdul Rehman, thousands more reduced to serfdom or outright slavery at Pashtun hands.

Beginning in 1994, the Hazaras new enemies were the Taliban, whose perverse version of Sunni Islam doesnt recognize Shiites as Muslims; worse: the Taliban resented the relative freedoms that Shiite Hazaras afforded women, who took part in the Bamiyan Valleys politics, its militias and social enterprises. The Talibans enmity toward the Hazara of Bamiyan was immediately brutal.
