A little girl has been beheaded together with her relatives at the hands of the Islamic State who have now infiltrated Afghanistan.
Thousands of people have protested in demonstrations across the country, with the capital, Kabul, seeing the biggest protest in 15 years.
Seven Afghan Hazara minority citizens from the southern province of Zabul were found decapitated.
The bodies of two men, two boys, two women and a child were found on Saturday in a rural town. The Islamic State are now competing with the Taliban when it comes to cruelty against Afghan citizens.
The Washington Post reports:
Marchers in Kabul on Wednesday walked for almost four hours with the coffins of the victims, which included the body of Shukria, a 9-year-old girl. They chanted slogans against the government, the Taliban and neighboring Pakistan, which is seen as having a hand in Afghanistan’s Islamist insurgency. Some protesters attempted to storm the presidential compound.
A reporter from the Wall Street Journal filmed Shukria’s tragic passage:

The week has been marked by nationwide vigils and demonstrations.
As my colleague Sayed Salahuddin reported, the demonstrations “highlighted growing discontent at the government’s inability” to deal with the threat of the militants and cast a spotlight on the grievances and unease of the Hazaras, the vast majority of whom are Shiite Muslims and fear further attacks from Sunni militants.
In Pakistan’s Baluchistan province, which borders Afghanistan, dozens of Hazaras have been killed in terorrist attacks over the past decade.
It’s not entirely clear who carried out the abduction and killing of Shukria and the six other Hazaras. The government has cast doubt on the purported connection to the Islamic State, which had been made by provincial officials. The area south of Kabul where the victims lived is home to a number of Taliban factions, some at odds with one another.
We’re all extremely pained by the horrific crime of Zabul. This’s the act of our enemies. V’ll have reprisal. Must stay united, not divided.
