Ashraf Ghani's Kabul government sent commandos to Ghor in order to arrest a leader of anti-Taliban popular movement called Ali-pur. President Ghani has been known for his adaptation of racist policies of the former Afghan kings to replace and change the identity of the non-Pashtun ethnic and cultural groups.
Ali-pur has become popular among people for providing security to people in areas of Hazarajat (central Afghanistan) where the Taliban supported militias made regular incursions and government failed to protect people's lives and property. Hazarajat is known as most peaceful part of Afghanistan where the extremist group has failed to establish a presence. While Hazarajat has left behind in developmental projects, the percentage of participation of women in education, governance and civic movements have been the highest in Afghanistan.
The action of the Ghani's government is seen as an effort to bring the war into an area that has remained peaceful and has been crying for developmental aids. Artificial conflicts created by Afghan government make it easy for extremists groups to establish a foothold in the area.
The pictures that surfaced from Ghani's government action in Ghor speak of crimes against children, women and the villagers who protested against the Ghani's forces.
