Genghis Khan

: The people known as Hazara endure their lot largely without complaint, because it been that way for centuries, according to Toronto Star. They stand out ethnically, a visual hint, perhaps, of Genghis Khan in their Turkic-Mongol features. They cling to the bottom rung of the country rickety economic ladder, the poorest in a poor land. And they stand out religiously, a largely Shiite minority in an Afghan sea of Sunni Muslims. But that silence shattered dramatically Tuesday night as fury over the targeted abduction and beheadings of seven Hazara civilians swelled into one of the largest mass demonstrations Kabul has seen in years. These differences consign the Hazara to a place beneath the country dominant Pashtun, Tajik and Uzbek communities, coexisting in servile silence. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
