Mohammad Omar Dawoodzi, former Minister of Interior Affairs, issued a warning on Hazara Culture Day that in the current sensitive situation, the “enemies of the country” are focusing more than ever on policies that fuel ethnic division.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that the Hazaras, alongside other ethnic groups in Afghanistan, have played a significant and decisive role in defending the country’s independence, territorial integrity, and progress. According to him, contemporary Afghan history shows that no single ethnic group has borne the burden of defense and development of this land alone.<\/p>\n
Dawoodzi stated: “Just as no ethnic group can build Afghanistan without the others, no national narrative will be complete without the participation of all ethnic groups.” He added that Afghanistan’s essential need today is to move beyond exclusionary mindsets and toward defining shared national interests.<\/p>\n
The former official of the republic government described the observance of Hazara Culture Day not merely as a celebration of one ethnic group but as a preservation of a part of Afghanistan’s historical and cultural soul. His remarks come amid growing concerns in recent years over increasing social divides and the restricted inclusive participation of ethnic groups in the power structure under the Taliban administration\u2014a matter many experts stress requires fair and national-level attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
