Fortunately, Frontline blogger Alex Strick van Linschoten is there live, updating us on this little-known but severe humanitarian issue from Afghanistan. Van Linschoten bogs:
The story is so small and on such a local level that nobody is particularly interested. With an ever-growing insurgency, are international readers really interested in a conflict within the conflict, in which there are no international actors, nor anyone the ‘international community’ need particularly pay heed to… Even within Afghanistan, it doesn’t merit any attention from local journalists. This is undoubtedly on account of ethnic biases against the purported ‘victims’, the Hazaras.
