Malala Yousafzai Returns to Pakistan for the First Time Since Shooting

Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai returned to her native Pakistan for the first time since she was first shot in the head by Taliban gunmen for her advocacy work with educating girls. In a brief, tearful speech from Islamabad, Yousafzai said “I still can’t believe that this is actually happening, that it’s true. I have dreamt of coming back to my country for the past five years. Whenever I travel by plane, by car, I see the cities of London, New York. I was told “imagine you are in Pakistan,” “you are traveling in Islamabad,” “you are in Karachi.” It was never true. But now I am in Pakistan. I am very happy.”
