Aimagh

The Aimagh Hazaras are a separate branch of the Hazara ethnic group in Afghanistan. While most Hazaras are Shia Muslims, the Aimagh, also referred to as Chahar Aimag or Chaar Aimaq, are predominantly Sunni. Due to centuries of oppression of the Hazara people, some Aimagh Hazaras are classified officially as Tajik.

The Aimagh population in Afghanistan is estimated to be 1-2 million.
