Having read some newspapers this afternoon, I have learned that this young woman not only defended female education but was also outspoken about many political issues. The fact, however, remains, that she is still a child with no real poitical power, so why did someone try to shoot her? How scared are these controlling men of a girl child speaking out? I hope that she recovers completely and quickly.
For the record, so far as I understand, the man with the gun approached the school bus and asked for Malala by name. Another pupil innocently pointed her out and, possibly, someone else denied that the figure pointed out was Malala. All three seem to have been shot. I don't know how the other two are doing.
the world truly does seem to have gone mad.
