Claim: Video showing Christians being massacred in Afghanistan.
Fact-check: Old video of ISIS executing Shias is falsely shared as the massacre of Christians in Afghanistan - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is from iraq and not afghanistan. the visuals show isis fighters executing shias in mass graves in 2014. according to a 2015 article by the guardian, afghanistan had been listed as one of the worst places to be a christian in the world. ever since, the taliban takeover of afghanistan, there are reports that taliban made a hit list of known christians to pursue and kill; some christians are reportedly escaping to the hills in attempts to find safety. but the video is not related to treatment of christians in afghanistan. hence the claim made in the post is false.
