Eleven coal miners from Hazara community were killed in a brutal attack in Balochistan last month and the members of the community continue to be targeted due to Pakistan s appeasement of anti-Shia militancy.
The Diplomat writes that the Hazaras have been victims of ethnic cleansing and pogroms in the region for almost two centuries since they were recruited in the First Anglo-Afghan War in 1839.
After the 9/11 attacks in the US, the Hazara population of Balochistan has been regularly targeted by Taliban and anti-Shia outfits such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP). The two groups have now been turned into political fronts after military ruler Pervez Musharraf was globally pressured into outlawing numerous jihadist groups.
