25. "Most #Hazara men were killed during the fight which spanned from 1891 to 1893. Dr Lee says that over 50 percent of the Hazara "male population" died as "a direct or indirect result of the war." This is, in my personal opinion, a very reasonable figure.
26. "Most for the Hazara women and children were taken captive and sold as slaves. Throughout the country, #Hazaras constituted the overwhelming majority of slaves in the bazaars. In fact there were so many that they greatly decreased the prices of slaves.
27. "According to Dr Lee, "thousands of [Hazara] women were forcibly married to #Pashtuns in a deliberate attempt to destroy #Hazara social and religious hierarchies."

I am going to share some findings of @NamaKadrie about the history of the Hazaras in this thread. This may help you in understanding the current situation in Afghanistan a bit better.
1. "In analysing the history of #Afghanistan, scholars and historians often assessed the independence and autonomy of a given region based on their ability to resist an imposition of tax. Paying levies was therefore the way power-relations and supremacy was understood.
2. "In this sense, the #Hazarajat as a whole was what scholars often deemed as a “semi-independent” region. By 1891, aside from #Uruzgan, every other region (14 districts) of the #Hazarajat paid taxes to Abdur Rahman Khan.

اسلامی نقطہ نظر میں قرآن و احادیث صحیحہ کی رو سے کسی قوم ، رنگ ، نسل و زبان پر لعن طعن یا انہیں برے القاب دینا کفر کے قریب لے جاتا ہے | کسی کو کشف ہوا ہے کہ #افغان #پشتون Xenophobic ہوتے ہیں | جبکہ امام ابو حنیفہ (رع) نسلا” افغان تھے اور اسی طرح داتا گنج بخش بھی افغان تھے
قرآن و حدیث کی رو سے یہ واضح ہوتا ہے کہ جس طرح #افغان و #پشتون عصبیت حرام ہے بالکل اسی طرح پاکستان کی قومی عصبیت بھی حرام ہے کیونکہ ایسی عصبیت دائرہ اسلام سے خارج کر دیتی ہے اور داخل فی النار بھی کر دیتی ہے | لہذا جو اصول عصبیت پر دوسروں پر فٹ کرتے ہیں اس اصول پر خود کو پرکھیں
Lt. General (R) Mr Hamid Gul had said #Afghan #Pashtun are not Xenophobic ! Afghans are more Pakistanis than Pakistanis" , #Afghans and #Pakistanis share Thousands of years of Culture, Civilization, Sufi Saints rather our Pakistani Heroes are actually from #Afghanistan #Pashtuns

In analysing the history of #Afghanistan, scholars and historians often assessed the independence and autonomy of a given region based on their ability to resist an imposition of tax. Paying levies was therefore the way power-relations and supremacy was understood. 5/N.K.
In this sense, the #Hazarajat as a whole was what scholars often deemed as a “semi-independent” region. By 1891, aside from #Uruzgan, every other region (14 districts) of the #Hazarajat paid taxes to Abdur Rahman Khan. 6/N.K.
Most regions throughout the #Hazarajat were headed by ‘mirs’ or ‘khans’ and a system of feudalism operated throughout this sphere. 7/N.K.

#ISKP claims responsibility for the vicious #Kabul wedding attack.

#ISKP is a manufactured arm of #NDS, sponsored by the non-#Pashtuns in @KarzaiH & @ashrafghani govts. They were “launched” once the #TTP had their heads crushed by the #PakArmy.
For those unaware, the #ISKP flag was first raised by #MangalBagh, the leader of Lashkar-e-Islam, a bandit group in Jamrud.
After #MangalBagh, many fringe splinter jihadi groups in #Afghanistan & #Pakistan’s #FATA ran to join the #ISKP bandwagon.

Something quite easy, since the #NDS was providing many facilities to these #terrorists.

The article clearly says that the cell established at #GHQ is responsible for facilitate the process regarding #MissingPersons, not outright find them.

But since you’ve brought up the issue...
#MissingPersons in #Pakistan aren’t always guests of the #State, as many would like to portray. Many left home of their own accord & joined #militant & #terrorist groups.

Those who are guests of the State have been proven to the Supreme Court of Pakistan in previous hearings.
Those who are guests of the State are there because their own activities & behavior makes it justifiable to hold them in custody without any exposure to outsiders, including family.

Unfair? Are we going to talk abt fair for those who have killed innocent people?

We were reviewing the number of toxic assets of foreign governments that have been threat neutralized by #Pakistan.

Let’s take a look. Image
At one point, #AltafHussain & his #MQM could shut down #Karachi with a single statement.

Today, he is wondering what happened to his strength after the @Bilalak80 took them down. Image
#MamaQadeer tried to play with #Balochistan over missing persons, but failed to mention his own alliances with #BRA, now part of #BRAS, against the #PakArmy Image

We’re quite tired of hearing #PTM being called an “organic human rights movement,” because there is neither anything organic or human rights related to this movement.
.@PashtunTM_Offi is a manufactured movement to achieve specific objectives.

1) Remove the military from #FATA so the #TTP & other #terror groups can return to hold the area hostage again.
2) To create a false impression that #Pashtuns are being victimized by the #PakArmy.

The only people being harassed are those who are not #Pakistani and living illegally within our borders.

The #PashtunLongMarch is another drama produced outside #Pakistan's borders by those disloyal to the nation. The #PashtunTahafuzMovement (#PTM) has already shown that it requires support from the #Afghan parliament, not Pakistan's.
The #PashtunTahafuzMovement (#PTM) has already been discredited with the fake photos from @ManzoorPashteen, which were spread in an attempt to insult the #PakArmy, without addressing the real concerns of #Pashtuns.
Now, with the #PashtunLongMarch firing up, we can only expect more foreign funds to be fed to anti-#Pakistan activists that will disappear from sight once they have completed their task for their foreign masters.
