BBC News - Pakistani girl, 13, praised for blog under Taliban
When the Taliban became the de-facto rulers of Pakistan’s Swat region between 2003 and 2009, they ordered schools to close as part of an edict banning girls’ education.
**At the time, Malala Yousafzai was just 11, but she spoke out through an anonymous diary on BBC Urdu’s website, and later featured in two New York Times documentaries.
**
In recognition of her courage, she was recently short-listed for the International Children Peace Prize, awarded by the Dutch organisation KidsRights.
Now aged 13, she spoke to the BBC about her activism.

o dear this is terrible, May Allah protect her
Re: Malala yousufzai attacked
The ‘courage’ of these animals can be judged from the fact, that they are scared by an unarmed kid (girl).
This was her diary that used to appear in BBC.
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Diary of a Pakistani schoolgirl
**THURSDAY JANUARY 15: NIGHT FILLED WITH ARTILLERY FIRE
**
The night was filled with the noise of artillery fire and I woke up three times. But since there was no school I got up later at 10 am. Afterwards, my friend came over and we discussed our homework.
[TABLE=“width: 226, align: right”]
The Taleban have repeatedly targeted schools in Swat
Today is 15 January, the last day before the Taleban’s edict comes into effect, and my friend was discussing homework as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
Today, I also read the diary written for the BBC (in Urdu) and published in the newspaper. My mother liked my pen name ‘Gul Makai’ and said to my father ‘why not change her name to Gul Makai?’ I also like the name because my real name means ‘grief stricken’.
My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was. My father said that he smiled but could not even say that it was written by his daughter.
**WEDNESDAY 14 JANUARY: I MAY NOT GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN
**
I was in a bad mood while going to school because winter vacations are starting from tomorrow. The principal announced the vacations but did not mention the date the school was to reopen. This was the first time this has happened.
[TABLE=“width: 226, align: right”]
In the past the reopening date was always announced clearly. **The principal did not inform us about the reason behind not announcing the school reopening, but my guess was that the Taleban had announced a ban on girls’ education from 15 January.
This time round, the girls were not too excited about vacations because they knew if the Taleban implemented their edict they would not be able to come to school again. Some girls were optimistic that the schools would reopen in February but others said that their parents had decided to shift from Swat and go to other cities for the sake of their education.
Since today was the last day of our school, we decided to play in the playground a bit longer. I am of the view that the school will one day reopen but while leaving I looked at the build**ing as if I would not come here again.
**FRIDAY 9 JANUARY: THE MAULANA GOES ON LEAVE?
**
Today at school I told my friends about my trip to Bunair. They said that they were sick and tired of hearing the Bunair story. **We discussed the rumours about the death of Maulana Shah Dauran, who used to give speeches on FM radio. He was the one who announced the ban on girls attending school.
Some girls said that he was dead but others disagreed. The rumours of his death are circulating because he did not deliver a speech the night before on FM radio. One girl said that he had gone on leave.
Since there was no tuition on Friday, I played the whole afternoon. I switched on the TV in the evening and heard about the blasts in Lahore. I said to myself ‘why do these blasts keep happening in Pakistan?’
**
WEDNESDAY 7 JANUARY: NO FIRING OR FEAR
**
I have come to Bunair to spend Muharram (a Muslim holiday) on vacation. I adore Bunair because of its mountains and lush green fields. My Swat is also very beautiful but there is no peace. But in Bunair there is peace and tranquillity. Neither is there any firing nor any fear. We all are very happy.**
Today we went to Pir Baba mausoleum and there were lots of people there. People are here to pray while we are here for an excursion. There are shops selling bangles, ear rings, lockets and other artificial jewellery. I thought of buying something but nothing impressed - my mother bought ear rings and bangles.
**MONDAY 5 JANUARY: DO NOT WEAR COLOURFUL DRESSES
**
I was getting ready for school and about to wear my uniform when I remembered that our principal had told us not to wear uniforms - and come to school wearing normal clothes instead. So I decided to wear my favourite pink dress. Other girls in school were also wearing colourful dresses and the school presented a homely look.
[TABLE=“width: 226, align: right”]
Swat has been a centre of militant activity
**My friend came to me and said, ‘for God’s sake, answer me honestly, is our school going to be attacked by the Taleban?’ During the morning assembly we were told not to wear colourful clothes as the Taleban would object to it.
**
I came back from school and had tuition sessions after lunch. In the evening I switched on the TV and heard that curfew had been lifted from Shakardra after 15 days. I was happy to hear that because our English teacher lived in the area and she might be coming to school now.
**SUNDAY 4 JANUARY: I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL
**
Today is a holiday and I woke up late, around 10 am. I heard my father talking about another three bodies lying at Green Chowk (crossing). I felt bad on hearing this news. Before the launch of the military operation we all used to go to Marghazar, Fiza Ghat and Kanju for picnics on Sundays. But now the situation is such that we have not been out on picnic for over a year and a half.
We also used to go for a walk after dinner but now we are back home before sunset. Today I did some household chores, my homework and played with my brother. But my heart was beating fast - as I have to go to school tomorrow.
**SATURDAY 3 JANUARY: I AM AFRAID
**
I had a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taleban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taleban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools.Only 11 students attended the class out of 27. The number decreased because of Taleban’s edict. My three friends have shifted to Peshawar, Lahore and Rawalpindi with their families after this edict.
**On my way from school to home I heard a man saying ‘I will kill you’. I hastened my pace and after a while I looked back if the man was still coming behind me. But to my utter relief he was talking on his mobile and must have been threatening someone else over the phone.

The alarming thing is that this incident happened near an army check post. Are the areas previously cleared falling back into the hands of the militants?

گل مکئی پر حملے کے بعد مینگورہ سکتے میں
ملالہ یوسفزئی کو پچھلے برس کئی عالمی اعزازات کے لیے بھی نامزد کیا گیا تھا۔
بی بی سی اردو سروس کے لیے گل مکئی کے نام سے سوات سے ڈائریاں لکھنے والی طالبہ ملالہ یوسفزئی پر حملے کے بعد مینگورہ شہر سکتے کے عالم میں ہے اور لوگ ایک مرتبہ پھر طالبان کے خوف میں مبتلا ہو گئے ہیں۔

ملالہ یوسفزئی اور دوسری طالبات کو سکول لیے جانے والی وین کے ڈرائیور عثمان علی تھے۔ انھوں نے انور شاہ کو بتایا کہ دو نامعلوم موٹر سائیکل سواروں نے انھیں راستے میں رکنے کا اشارہ کیا اور پوچھا کہ کیا یہ وین خوشحال پبلک سکول کی ہے۔
ڈرائیور عثمان علی نے ان موٹر سائیکل سواروں سے کہا کہ وہ سکول جا کر پوچھیں اور وین کی رفتار تیز کر دی۔ اس اثناء میں فائرنگ کی آواز گونجنے لگی جسے سن کر ڈرائیور نے وین کی رفتار مزید بڑھا دی۔
وین کی رفتار تیز ہوتے ہی لڑکیوں نے چیخنا چلانا شروع کر دیا اور بتایا کہ ملالہ اور ان کی ساتھی شازیہ کے جسموں سے خون بہہ رہا ہے۔
عثمان علی وین کو سیدھا ہسپتال لےگئے جہاں انھیں معلوم چلا کہ ملالہ کے گلے میں اور شازیہ کے دائیں بازو میں گولی لگی ہے۔
انور شاہ نے بتایا کہ یہ واقع شریف آباد میں پیش آیا اور وہیں قریب ہی فوج کی چیک پوسٹ قائم ہے۔
انور شاہ کا کہنا ہے کہ لوگ ایک مرتبہ پھر اس خوف کا شکار ہو گئے ہیں کہ سوات طالبان کے ہاتھوں میں جا رہا ہے۔

PESHAWAR: Pakistani Taliban accepts responsibility of attacking National Peace Award winner and young Pakistani rights activist Malala Yousufzai, who with another girl was injured in the attack on their school van on Tuesday, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to Dawn.com’s correspondent Zahir Shah Sherazi from an undisclosed destination, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan said that the TTP accepts responsibility of the attack as Malala was propagating anti-Taliban and ‘secular’ thoughts among the youth of the area.
Malala was returning home from her school in Swat’s Mingora area when her van was attacked by the gunmen.
Certain media outlets reported that the gunmen attacked the van on identifying the young children’s rights activist.
Sources said Malala was hit by couple of bullets to her neck and head.
Both injured girls were taken to the Saidu Sharif Hospital. According to doctors, Malala was now out of danger. However, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf has ordered to shift her to a Peshawar hospital swiftly through a helicopter. The prime minister has strongly condemned the incident.
The incident spread fear and panic among the local residents.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain confirmed the shooting and blamed the attack on terrorists.
Yousafzai is 15 years of age and has already earned international fame for raising voice against Taliban oppression in Swat.
She was honoured with a first ever National Peace by the government and was nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize by advocacy group KidsRights Foundation in 2011 for being an inspiration to her friends by standing up against repression as her namesake did in Afghanistan in the 19th century.
Malala became the voice of all the girls in Swat when she began maintaining a diary on the website of the BBC under the pen name of “Gul Makai.”
The Pakistan army in 2009 effectively crushed a two-year Taliban insurgency in Swat where cleric Maulana Fazlullah presided over a brutal campaign of beheadings, violence and multiple attacks on girls’ schools.
After fierce fighting displaced around two million people, the army declared the region back under control in July 2009.
Despite sporadic outbreaks of violence, the government has since tried to encourage tourism in Swat.
It had been popular with Pakistani and Western holidaymakers for its stunning mountains, balmy summer weather and winter skiing.
Re: Malala yousufzai attacked
The taliban hate educated people especially educated women because they need an uneducated population to retain power.
Re: Malala yousufzai attacked
She is reported to be out of danger. Alhamdolillah.
Re: Malala yousufzai attacked
They are threatening to attack her again, if she survives.
