Kotay Sangi a district in the West of Kabul was the scene of sporadic violence between two ethnic minorities in the Afghan capital.
The Afghan National Army had to quell the violence with bursts of gunfire to disperse the crowd killing an 18 year old young man named Amir Dad.
The violence broke out after the Hazara population that reside in the West of the capital were protesting at the influx of Kochi’s settling in the district.
The Kochi’s are a nomadic community that travel across Afghanistan spending their winters in Pakistan and their summers in Afghanistan. The community have a very distinctive culture; most Kochi’s have unique tattoos and fashion that has even spread over to the West. They carry most of their belongings on decorated camels, donkeys or horses. Throughout history Afghans have had a relaxed attitude towards the Kochi tribes, however recently tensions have been escalating.
The Hazara minority of Afghanistan are hereditary Mongolians that have suffered discrimination as part of Afghans linking the ethnic groups to the Mongolian invaders, the only empire that managed to defeat Afghanistan in history. The word Hazara literally translates as “thousand” believed to be the number of Mongolians that remained in Afghanistan following Genghis Khan’s removing his military units from the country.
