Afghan security forces have fired warning shots into the air at a protest in Kabul, injuring seven people, according to officials.

Police fired the shots to disperse protesters marching outside the presidential palace.

Thousands are protesting against the recent abduction and killing of seven civilians from the Hazara ethnic minority.

It is not clear who carried out the killings.

The bodies were found in the southern province of Zabul where fighting between Taliban factions has escalated recently. Some of the victims had had their throats slit.

The marchers carried the coffins of the dead through the streets of Kabul in the pouring rain.

"Today they kill us, tomorrow they kill you," some chanted. Others carried banners bearing photos of the victims and shouted "Death to the Taliban".

Thousands of people took part in the protest - most were Hazaras, but there were many from other ethnic groups too. Tajiks, Uzbeks and Pashtuns, including some MPs, all took part.

They demanded better security from President Ghani and his government. The killings of the seven Hazaras are shocking even in a country which has seen so much violence.

Three of those killed by the militants were women - and there were many women in the crowds in Kabul, some breaking with tradition once more to help carry the coffins.

Kabul has not witnessed such scenes since the mob killing in March of a young woman, Farkhunda, who was falsely accused of burning the Koran.

The Hazaras are a united and politically active community in Afghanistan.

Dozens of them have been abducted in recent months, it is thought by militants seeking to free fellow fighters or their relatives held in custody. Some hostages have been freed.

Who was behind the killings remains unclear. BBC

Who are the Hazaras?

- Of Mongolian and Central Asian descent

- Mainly practise Shia Islam, in predominantly Sunni Afghanistan and Pakistan

- Thought to be the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan

- Estimates suggest they make up 15-20% of Afghanistan's population, which is thought to be about 30 million

- At least 600,000 Hazaras live in Pakistan, most of them in Quetta

- Legend has it they are descendants of Genghis Khan and his soldiers, who invaded Afghanistan in the 13th Century

Afghanistan was quite a peaceful and fairly open-minded country before the religious agenda and Taliban's terror kicked in. 

That country isn't sick. You know what's sick? The US government. They helped create and empower Taliban for their own personal gain against Russia.

Poor baby. This is terrible, and it's sad that so called "humans" can do this to one another. Honestly seeing that picture with her father is is just so sad. Who could be so cruel to think a lovely little child like that should endure any sort of pain at all?

 

The animals that did this need to be caught and put to death. They don't deserve any sort of mercy at all.
