An open letter from the Hazara people around the world to international human rights organizations, international authorities and well-known personalities

Monday 30 August 2010

1. The United Nations should introduce its special representatives to help solve the problem. The Afghan government lacks the capacity and tendency to solve this problem. It has become a great humanitarian disaster which needs the intervention of international institutions. We ask international organizations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the UN Human Council to follow the issue and take proper action.

2. The documents that show the Kochi ownership of Hazara farm lands were issued to them by the dictators who were directly involved in the genocide and forced migration of the Hazara people. In fact, all these ownership documents show the active participation of Kochi Pashtuns in the crimes and should be unconditionally declared invalid.

3. Unconditional disarmament must be undertaken by Kochi and they should join the process of disarmament like other people in Afghanistan. The US and NATO have more than 150000 troops in Afghanistan and must take necessary actions regarding the disarmament of the Kochi-Pashtuns.

4. Reports and documents indicate that in recent years armed Kochi have been involved in killing, displacement and the destruction of houses and schools by fire and looting properties of Hazara people. The Afghan government and those people who are involved in all these crimes should return all the rights lost by Hazara victims and give them suitable compensation.

5. Criminals who are directly and indirectly involved in the killing and looting of Hazara property should be identified and prosecuted.

6. The transit of the Kochi is often used for transporting narcotics, weapons, explosives and precious jewels and must be under the control of international institutions.

7. The re-settlement of the Kochi Pashtuns should not happen on the farmlands of original inhabitants or their occupied properties. Kochi settlement must take place on the arid lands through irrigation of the lands such as Delaram, Bakwah and Nimruz.

8. Unfair rights in elective and appointive parliament seats which have been given to the Kochi must be taken from them and they should have equal rights with others, not less and not more.

9. Real Kochi and Talib terrorists should be identified.

10. The Kochi citizenship issue must be investigated. If they are the citizens of Afghanistan then the law of Afghanistan should be enforced on them and if they are the citizens of Pakistan then Pakistan must be asked to enforce their border control so they do not enter Afghanistan and violate other people’s rights. The government of Afghanistan must investigate this issue and find suitable solutions.

11. The Kochi violations of the rights of women and children must be stopped as it is in the best interest of Kochi women and children.
