Captain Abdul Wali
Abdul Wali, the son of a gardener at Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan Tribal District, defied all expectations when he rose to the esteemed rank of an officer in the Pakistan Army. This transformation underscores the meritocratic ethos of the Armed Forces, which transcends all forms of discrimination.
Benefitting from this meritocracy, Abdul Wali, upon graduating from Wana Cadet College, earned a commission in the Army and was later promoted to the rank of Captain. Initially enrolled at Army Public School Kohat, Captain Abdul Wali was subsequently transferred to Cadet College Wana following its establishment.
After five years of dedicated service in the Army, Captain Abdul Wali courageously sacrificed his life in combat against terrorists in Boya Tehsil of North Waziristan Tribal District on September 5, 2022. His funeral, held on September 6th, coincided with Pakistan Defence Day.
At the youthful age of twenty-six, Captain Wali hailed from Karhi Kot village in South Waziristan and had recently entered into wedlock.
