He emphasized that the responsibility for protecting the life, dignity, and honor of every citizen now lies with the ruling structure.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that seeking excuses instead of accountability amounts to shirking responsibility, and the Taliban administration cannot sidestep the ongoing insecurity. According to Fadai, ensuring the people&#8217;s safety is a fundamental duty and must not be sacrificed due to internal disputes or negligence.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, unidentified armed individuals attacked Topan Waziri in Kandahar city, leaving him critically wounded. Reports indicate that after being transferred to a medical center, his condition is improving, and there is no immediate threat to his life.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the incident, the Taliban administration claimed it was a personal matter related to a land dispute with no political motivations involved. However, in a recorded video while injured, Topan Waziri stated that the assailants are connected to Pakistan&#8217;s intelligence agencies and added that he was not allowed to use his personal weapon in self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to these claims, Halim Fadai urged for a serious and transparent investigation rather than immediate dismissal or oversimplification to uncover the truth. He stressed that the lack of independent inquiry further undermines public trust.<\/p>\n<p>Topan Waziri had left Afghanistan following the fall of the republic system but later returned through the Taliban&#8217;s contact commission; a return now marred by a violent attack and serious questions about the state of security in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former official Halim Fadai says the Taliban have failed to secure citizens after an armed attack on Topan Waziri highlights ongoing insecurity in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
