Hazara Ethnic Minority Life In South-West Pakistan

QUETTA, PAKISTAN - FEBRUARY 14: Young Hazara children fly their kites on February 14, 2021 in Quetta, Pakistan. Balochistan, a south-west region of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, is home to a large Hazara minority. Hazaras, a Persian-speaking ethnic group that has been long persecuted in both countries, mostly live in Quetta, the biggest city in the region with a population of around 1.1 million. Despite assimilating with the local population, they are often a target for Islamist militant groups and activists say at least 800-1,000 Hazaras have been killed since 1999 and the pace is quickening.
