The siege of Hazarajat began in November 1996 and ended in May–July 1996 by the moto[clarification needed] of ethnic cleansing of the Hazaras[2] it ended by anti-Taliban uprisings the uprisings were inspired by the revolt in Mazar-i-Sharif In ten weeks of fighting between May and July, the Taliban suffered over 3,000 killed or wounded, and some 3,600 became POWs, while 250 Pakistanis had been killed and 550 captured[citation needed]. The morale of the Taliban plummeted after early defeats in the Battles of Mazar-i-Sharif (1997–1998), as they sought to replenish their losses by recruiting from the madrasas in Pakistan[citation needed] and Afghanistan.[3]
