Islamic Dawah Organisation of Afghanistan: what Wikipedia removed
The Islamic Dawah Organization of Afghanistan is a political party led by Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, once part of the US and Pakistan backed mujahedin coalition. Through 2010 the opening said that on February 11, 1993, “its forces took part in a series of massacres and rapes on members of the Hazara ethnic minority in west Kabul along with Jamiat Islami forces.” Today the word massacre appears nowhere in the article. A reader today learns the organization was part of a US-backed coalition against Soviet forces and does not learn its forces took part in massacres and rapes of Hazara civilians in Kabul in 1993.
The word “massacre” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
