| [DAWN] Pakistain's Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai ...a Pashtun blogger and advocate for girls' education from Mingora, in Swat. She started blogging at age 11-12. She was 15 when a Talib boarded her school bus and shot her in the head in 2012. She was evacuated to a hospital in Britain and the Pak Taliban vowed to kill her and her father. Among other awards, she received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, which she deserved more than Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Yasser Arafat, or Rigoberta Menchu... in an exclusive interview with DawnNews, said that she intends to return to Pakistain next year. "God willing I will return to Pakistain very soon," she said. "Next year when my GCSE exams finish God willing I will most certainly return," Malala said during the interview in Oslo. "Winning the peace prize is a great honour for me and the country...this award is for all the children who raise their voice for their rights," she said. Malala stated that the prize money from the award will be spent in Pakistain on children's education. "I want to start by helping my hometown Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... and Shangla where there is a need for secondary schools," she said. |
