On July 23, 2016, two suicide bombers denoted their explosives among the protesters at Dehmazang Square in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. The protesters, who were primarily Hazaras, were part of the Enlightenment Movement and were protesting against the decision that diverted the TUTAP mega power project by bypassing the Hazara-dominated areas. According to multiple sources, at least 84 protesters lost their lives, and around 260- 400 people were injured. The Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP), the regional branch of ISIS, took credit for the incident. However, the same organization later refuted their involvement in the incident. The Enlightenment Movement, also known as Junbesh-e Roshnayi-e, was a grassroots civil disobedience movement started by Hazaras in Afghanistan in response to a change in the Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG proposed Energy Supply Improvement Investment Program, unofficially called TUTAP project plans diverted bypassing Hazara region. The move was seen as perpetuating long-standing anti-Hazara discrimination. Throughout 2016 and 2017, the group coordinated large-scale demonstrations against discrimination both domestically in Afghanistan and abroad.
