1-Lashkar e jangvi guys in Quetta are punjabis, you can confirm it from any quettawal.
not necessarily
2- Taliban in late 90s, didnt massacre hazaras in mazar shareef due to sect but due to revenge. First taliban captured mazar shareef but lost the city due to street fighting and sudden ambushes. Thousands of taliban prisoners were killed. When taliban re-took the city, they returned the favour. According to Afghan taliban claims, pakistanis of sipah e sahaba burnt iranian counselate in mazar shareef.
Im not sure about this - but the hatred against Hazaras is OLDDDDD. It goes way back to the time of the Mongols when they invaded what is today Afghanistan. The Pashtuns at that time felt dis-enfranchised and disrespected.
Because of the utter STUPIDITY and emotionalism of people in this region, old conflicts never die. Sectarian dimension came only much later. Exacerbated by TERRORIST/Proxy groups like Sipah e Sahaba/LeJ and their affiliates.
The violence was perpetual. You had factions form. Hazara warlords were represented by Mohammad Mohaqiq; as far as Afghanistan is concerned the Pashtun, Darri/Tajik speaking & Hazaras were always at eachothers throats. Eventually the violence would spread into our side, and made worsened by the terrorist/proxy sectarian groups
3- From what i have heard, there are no ethnic and sectarian tensions between pashtuns and hazaras. Afghan-pashtuns and hazaras are rather close with each other.
Its the other way around. There were no ethnic tensions in Pakistan. It was from Afghanistan that this spillover and hatred took place. Hazaras were always MUCH safer in Pakistan, which is why many Hazara Afghan refugees came to Pakistan.
Baloch nationalists have problems with both hazaras and afghan-pashtuns.
well these so-called "nationalists" have problems with fellow Baloch; they kill those who want to become empowered, be loyal to the state and be educated - rather than be slaves of feudal nawabs
this isnt always the case, but more often than not it is...the refugee crisis did bring demographic changes and regular Baloch as well as the rebels did see this as a threat of sorts
4- Most of the Afghan refugees in Quetta are not pashtuns but hazaras. Bulk of hazaras are illegal refugees. The ones with proper pakistani nationality, were settled here by british 100 years ago, in exchange for their military services against sunni balochs of iranian part of balochistan. @
Abu Zolfiqar would disagree with me.
Im not 100% sure of that so I cant agree or disagree. You do have Pakistani Pashtuns who have been a part of Balochistan for a very long time.
It will be important for our Baloch and other brethren/comrades to ensure that sectarian groups dont flourish in the Province. People should be human beings first before being any sect. These "sect" names are just man-made designer labels. These "sect" names should be deleted from our memory. We are Pakistanis FIRST.
The massacre against Hazaras sent shock-waves throughout Pakistan. What was their crime? Innocent people were killed.
Pay closer atention to names.
may they all rot in hell for their crimes.....if the judiciary cant get them
