the motive behind the shooting is still unknown, but former colleagues praised ms nabizada as a “fearless champion for afghanistan” who stood for what she believed in, even in the face of danger. abdullah abdullah, a former top official in afghanistan’s former western-backed government, said he was saddened by ms nabizada’s death and hoped the perpetrators would be punished. many women who had prominent professional jobs in afghanistan after the us-led invasion two decades ago fled the country after the taliban returned to power.
