Today at the @journalismfest I woke up with very sad news. #Taliban terrorists killed my dear friend and university classmate Alidost Shams and 7 policemen. He was district governor of Khwaja Omary district in #Ghazni province. I can’t imagine this and can’t explain my pain. pic.twitter.com/YTYNC9SIpI

AliDost Shams. RIP.

Afghanistan's policy for known history has been to dehumanize and exterminate Hazaras. Taliban thugs are continuation of what ARG has been doing for over a century.
Q is for Hazaras: What are we going to do about it?#TwitterHazaras https://t.co/NjPQbMQtkJ

Afghanistan | ARG & NATO aren't serious. They will never allow Hazaras stake in security of AFG. Hazaras need serious dialog w/any nation willing to help them take the fight to ISIS-Taliban https://t.co/ugIjYvJGI4#TwitterHazaras RIP #AliDostShams #KhwajaOmri #Ghazni

The attack was one of the deadliest by the Taliban in several weeks and comes as the militants prepare to launch their annual spring offensive, which marks the beginning of the traditional fighting season.https://t.co/EHwBrvfcrO pic.twitter.com/cvIIX99tpr
