Incident description
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. They were protesting against the diversion of the TUTAP mega power project which would cause the project to bypass Hazara-dominated areas. At least 84 protesters lost their lives and 260-400 others were injured. The Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP), the regional branch of ISIS, took credit for the attack. However, ISKP later refuted their involvement in the attack.
The Enlightenment Movement, also known as Junbesh-e Roshnayie, 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. The change in the project plans would cause it to bypass Hazara regions. The move was seen as perpetuating long-standing anti-Hazara discrimination. Throughout 2016 and 2017, the Enlightenment Movement coordinated large-scale demonstrations against discrimination both domestically in Afghanistan and abroad.

He Would Always Tell Me He Would Go Overseas
Narrator: Rahmatullah (father)
Victim: Azizullah Sabzo
Date of the incident: 23 July 2016
Location of the incident: Dehmazang, Kabul City
Azizullah enrolled in Deh Dana School at the age of seven. He was attending twelfth grade at the Mehrabuddin School in Chehel-Soton. He always told me he was interested in going overseas after finishing school. I would tell him, “My son, what are you going to do overseas? Whatever you like to do, do it in Afghanistan and build your life here.” But he would always say that it was his dream to go abroad. On the day of the incident, his friends called him: “Azizullah, where are you, brother?” He told them that he was at home. They told him to come and join them in the demonstration. “What type of a friend you are, leaving us alone?” they said.
He joined his friends in Dehmazang. Around 2 p.m., the attack happened, and my son was killed at the age of 18. We were very satisfied and happy with him. He was a calm and well-mannered boy, and I can say he was fortunate. He was very social and respected everyone.
