Face à la radicalisation du régime taliban autour de l’identité pachtoune, un mouvement s’est créé en Afghanistan afin de faire valoir les intérêts et le poids des ethnies persanophones, qui constituent plus d’un tiers de la population.
Il s’agit d’Afghans de langue dari, appelée naguère kabouli, de la minorité chiite Hazara, et des Tadjiks qui peuplent le nord du pays. Les Ouzbeks et les Turkmènes du nord-ouest se sont joints à ce mouvement dont les motivations ne sont pas sans rappeler le dilemme linguistique ukrainien autour de l’usage du russe, du hongrois et du roumain.

Afghanistan
The right to self-determination of the Eastern Persians
Faced with the radicalization of the Taliban regime around the Pashtun identity, a movement has sprung up in Afghanistan to assert the interests and influence of Persian-speaking ethnic groups, which make up over a third of the population.
These are Afghans speaking Dari, formerly known as Kabuli, the Shiite Hazara minority, and the Tajiks who populate the north of the country. Uzbeks and Turkmen from the north-west have joined this movement, whose motivations are reminiscent of the Ukrainian linguistic dilemma surrounding the use of Russian, Hungarian and Romanian.
The founder of the movement for the right to self-determination of Eastern Persians on the territory of Afghanistan is Fayaz Bakhraman Nadjimi.
The proponents of this movement argue that Afghanistan as it exists today was created from scratch by the British in 1880, as a buffer zone between Tsarist Russia and British India. [•••]
