In late 1979, some Hazara-led parties gathered in Hazarajat to established the Shura-e-ittifaqi under the leadership of Sayyid Ali Beheshti. [1] The uprising began and succeeded, all of Hazarajat was liberated and the Afghan government was expelled. [2] [3] The success of the new Hazarajat government was due to its support of the Hazara culture and values. [3] After the uprising, Shura-e-ittifaqi ruled the Hazarajat from 1979 to 1982 followed by Sazman-i Nasr then Hezbe Wahdat that ruled Hazarajat until 1997. During this time, Hazarajat was more peaceful than other parts of Afghanistan. [1] This was the most organized and successful Hazara uprising after several failed uprisings in the 20th century, providing the Hazaras with an organized government for the first time. [3] [4]
Following the uprising, the Shura-e-ittifaqi established an Islamic government controlling the majority of Hazarajat. [1] [3] The Kabul government attempted to undermine the new government in Hazarajat by using techniques such as divide and rule, and manipulating ethnic and tribal disputes but these failed. [1]
