Generally speaking, the Shiite Hazara Community in Afghanistan has been subject to repetitive persecution from the Sunni majority, especially during the Taliban Period. However, things appear to be improving slowly ever since the Northern Alliance retook control of the country in the wake of the 2001 US-led War in Afghanistan.

Answer 1Yes. However, there was no real split between Shiites and Sunnis. It is just some different views over some side issues that are not critical.Answer 2No. The split between Sunnis and Shiites occurred nearly 30 years earlier when Abu Bakr was elected by the Shoura Council to the position of Caliph against the will of Ali's supporters. Those supporters rejected the decision of the Shoura Council and became the Shiites. The Battle of Karbala crystallized this division since Ali had, by then, been assassinated, and his son Hussein (who was the next candidate supported by the Shiites) was butchered by the Caliph Yazid I without Sunnis rejecting Yazid's right to the Caliphate.
