NRF Leader Seeks Recognition of Gender Apartheid & Genocide of Hazaras in Afghanistan
Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front (NRF), called for the recognition of the "gender apartheid and the genocide of the Hazaras" in Afghanistan.
Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front (NRF), called for the recognition of the "gender apartheid and the genocide of the Hazaras" in Afghanistan.
Massoud at the Sciences Po University in Paris said that these two issues were among his official demands during his meetings with French officials.
On Thursday, Massoud stressed, "You must recognise two important issues in Afghanistan: firstly, the gender apartheid against women and secondly, the genocide of the Hazaras."
"We need to stand together," said the leader of the National Resistance Front. “It doesn't matter what our race, religion, or belief is. We must be united, work together, learn from the past, and fight against evil."
Ali Maisam Nazary, head of the foreign relations of the National Resistance Front, also wrote on social media platform X that Massoud emphasised on the "significant progress of the resistance" over the past two years of the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan.
Ahmad Massoud has been in France for several days and has participated in various meetings, including addressing the European Parliament.
After the extensive restrictions that the Taliban imposed on Afghan women, several women and human rights activists have widely demanded the recognition of the "gender apartheid" in Afghanistan. According to these human rights defenders, the Taliban has deprived women of basic and basic rights in Afghanistan.
Also, a significant number of human rights activists and experts believe that the persecution and "targeted killing" that has been carried out against the Hazaras in Afghanistan for years is a part of "genocidal” killings of this ethnic group.
These activists also demand the recognition of the "genocide of the Hazaras" in Afghanistan.
