no title

Karzia has been circled by his fanatic Pashtuns as advisors and policy makers who politically and ideologically shares values with Taliban. he asks Hazars to come back in Afghanistan and build it while his brothers(Taliban) had announced that all Hazars should go to cemeteries and there was not a single Hazara as a high ranking official in Taliban regime. Currently Karzia is throwing Hazaras out of offices and limit education for their children and proudly asks them to come back and rebuild AF.

The Taliban are Afghani

The word 'insurgents' was used to describe the Taliban as if they had no legitimacy to fight and as if Karzai was wrong to negotiate with them. But the 'insurgents' are in the main Afghani aren't they? The Americans who shot at the British from the bushes were insurgents too by that definition.Now they are patriots and freedom fighters As Karzai said - the Taliban are brothers. This is not to forgive the Taliban for their supression of women and their demolition of the Buddhas at Bamiyan.

full interview more enlightening

Karzai was at least forth right regards Pakistan invading Afghanistan (43m20s)using the Taliban via Saudi backed wahhabism.he notes that not much has changed with ISI, Haqqani and Hezb since Soviet invasion (same players) and prior back to Brits. Pakistan not the Taliban or the USA are and always have been the biggest stumbling block. Americans negotiate with the Taliban, support he Afghanis and sideline Pakistan. Karzai noted that he hopes Pakistan has the capacity to address it -same here!

Hamid Fayaz

From: Melbourne

Liar Karzei

There is little doubt that Karzei is a zealous, fanatic Pashtunist and thus he calls the terrorist Taliban brothers who all belong to his ethnicity. He is one of the main persecutors of the Hazaras who form the bulk of the Afghans seeking asylum in Australia. Even greater threat than the Taliban to the Hazaras these days are Karzei and his fascistic government. He gives no guarantee to foreign trainers as he knows well his tribe by culture will grab any opportunity to kill those deemed enemies.

Karzei's lies

It is crystal clear that Karzei is blatantly lying about Afghanistan being safe, not least for the Hazara people as he (as a zealous Pashtun) and his Pashtunist government have been complicit in the persecution of the Hazaras. It is not only the Taliban who are involved in the torture and persecution of the Hazaras, Karzei's regime is also deeply mired in the racial and religious persecution of these people

From: Sydney

Hazara's fear of Persecution

Interesting Q from Yalda, but no clear answer from Karzai regarding security and safty for the Hazara's. Karzai stated that there are jobs, educations act for Hazara's since 2001. Persecution, dead tool, roadside attacks and suacide attacks for Hazara's has been increasing for the recent years in accordance to trusted reports from UN and other organisations.

Persecution of hazara's in afghanistan

Smart questions from yalda for karzai but not satisfictory answers regardiung brotherhood with taliban and peace and security in afgahnistan for hazaras. Yalda Hakim asked a very clear question regarding Hazara Asylum Seekers fearing persecution, coming to Australia! Hamid Karzai had no clear answer to this question whats so ever and stated that Afghanistan has improved since 2001 and also said that there are educations, jobs act... If so, why the dead tool and the persecution has increased.
