Lieutenant General Abdul Raziq Achakzai Pashto: جنرال عبدالرازق, born 1979) is an officer in the Afghan National Police. He was born in the border city of Spin Boldak.[1]
He is a member of the Adoza, a subtribe of the larger Achakzai. Razik's prominent uncle and father were killed by the Taliban, in 1994, as they rose to power in Kandahar. In November 2001 Razik joined Achakzai anti-Taliban forces, under Fayda Mohammad and Gul Agha Sherzai, which overthrew the Taliban in Kandahar. Although he was unknown in 2001, he nevertheless rose to command the Afghanistan Border Police on Afghanistan's border between Kandahar and the Pakistan's Baluchistan Province.[2]
