Shakaiba Sanga Amaj (Pashto:شکېبا څانګه آماج) (born 1986, assassinated 31 May, or June 1, 2007) was an Afghan female journalist.
The Pakistan-educated Shakaiba Amaj was a well-liked presenter on the programme "Da Gudar Ghara" on Shamshad TV.
[1] Shakaiba Amaj was one of the rare Afghan women journalists at news conferences with President Hamid Karzai.
Two days later police arrested a suspect, Abdul Latif from Ghazni, who had reportedly been hired to punish her for refusing to marry.
"Even if a family feud appears to be behind this cowardly killing, the authorities should not overlook the profession and renown of the young presenter," said Reporters Without Borders, the worldwide press freedom organisation.
