I understand your point that spreading out the killings over 15 years makes it “less impactful” if you will, but even with 400 million total Hazaras they are a targeted minority and always have been since Taliban’s inception at Kandahar from my current understanding. Is the Taliban’s hatred of Hazaras based only because they are a different ethnicity or are there multiple factors? I plan to learn more about the historical divisions among these ethnic factions but interested in your opinion.
I do not know what the basis of conflict is between Taliban and Hazaras, but I would suspect it is that the Hasaras speak Persian, so are actually Iranians.
But the reason the small number of dead makes me less wary is that they it could be that only armed fighters are dying.
And that is their own choice.
I would only be concerned if unarmed women and children was also dying, and I don't get that impression?
