According to Nazary, resistance against the Taliban is the only path forward to preserve the life, home, land, honour, and values of the Afghan people.

Nazary’s statement has been issued when, based on Taliban’s orders, forced displacement of 400 families had started in Mohajer Qeshlaq village of Khwaja Bahauddin district of Takhar province on Tuesday.

The Taliban officials have given the residents of the village three days to evacuate their homes.

Two local residents had told Afghanistan International that the families had been ordered to evacuate their homes on Tuesday, and at least 100 families have been displaced on Wednesday.

According to the sources, if these families do not leave the village within three days, "they will be forcibly evicted from their homes and they will not have the right to move out their belongings and clothes”.

A local resident had told Afghanistan International that women, children, and men have fled to the fields and cannot even afford to buy a tent.

Earlier, local sources from Baghlan Province had told Afghanistan International that the Taliban had forced at least five families to leave their village in Andarab district.

According to sources, the group had given five days to 10 other families in the district to leave their homes.

These families had been evicted from their homes due to their alleged ties to the NRF forces.

Several reports of the forced displacement of Panjshir and Baghlan residents have been published too.

In some cases, the Taliban have told displaced families that they do not have the right to live all over the nine northern provinces of Afghanistan.

The Taliban have continuously denied these reports.

Hazara activists launched a Twitter campaign on October 3 with the #StopHazaraGenocide hashtag. The campaign had been started by Hazara rights activists after a suicide attack on an educational center on September 30 in western Kabul.

Supporters of the campaign have urged the international community to recognize that a genocide is currently underway against the Hazara Shia community in Afghanistan.

So far, many politicians, rights activists, artists and members of the Hazara ethnic community have joined the Twitter campaign.

Along with Afghan artists, politicians, and cultural activists, well-known figures such as Elif Shafaq, the well-known Turkish-British novelist have joined the campaign to call for a stop to the genocide of Hazara community in Afghanistan.

The Twitter campaign supporters believe that Hazaras of Afghanistan have been systematically targeted and are facing genocidal killings.

In recent years, attacks on Hazaras, especially on their educational centers, have increased. Islamic State-Khurasan has taken responsibility for most of the attacks.

According to Dehzad, during the five years of operations at Rahe Danishgah, they have witnessed several attacks on educational institutes in Kabul.

He mentioned the deadly attacks on Mawud Educational Center; Kawsar-e-Danesh Center; Seyyed al-Shuhada High School, and Kaaj Educational School, which killed and injured hundreds of young Hazara Shia teenagers.

Dehzad added that with each passing day, the number of students participating at these centers has decreased due to security threats and because the atmosphere of fear and intimidation has been increasing.

The Taliban have not yet responded to the former Afghan president’s call. According to Karzai’s press office, in the meeting with the Japanese ambassador at his residence in Kabul, they also exchanged views on the education of Afghan girls and the attack at the Kaj educational center.

In the meeting with the former Afghan president, Takashi expressed his condolences to the victims of the terrorist attack at the Kaj educational center.

According to the UN statistics, at least 53 people had been killed and more than 110 had been injured in the suicide attack on the Kaj educational center in western Kabul. Most of the victims in the attack had been female students.

The former president of Afghanistan has also urged the Taliban to reopen schools for female students across Afghanistan.
