Germany expresses concern over continued violence against Hazaras

Following the online campaign #StopHazaraGenocide, the German Embassy in Afghanistan has expressed concern regarding the continued violence against the Hazaras. “We are dismayed by the unjustifiable continuation of violence against Afghan civilians and in particular also the Hazara community,” the German Embassy said in a tweet on Sunday, June 06.

To advocate for the Hazaras and ask for national and international recognition of a “genocide” threat against the ethnic group, a large number of Afghan social media users and as well as nationals of other countries joined the hashtag campaign #StopHazaraGenocide on Saturday, June 05.
