Hizb-e-Wahdat

A political party in Afghanistan (also referred to as the Wahdat), informally representing the Hazara people of the region. The ideological leader of this party was the Ustad Abdul Ali Mazari[?], who was taken captive by the Taliban, and killed in an escape attempt aboard a helicopter.

The Wahdat[?] party has been accused of taking part in the rapid deterioration of the Mujahideen[?] government of Afghanistan in the early 1990s (please enter precise dates), and attacking civilian populations in the city of Kabul. After the installment of a new government in Afghanistan, following the post-September 11th battles defeating the Taliban, the Wahdat has become an important player again in the government.
