A compilation of awards and tributes for Malala Yousafzai – by Rusty Walker
World leaders unanimously denounced the attack by Taliban, and are astonished that despite glowing praise from around the world for Malala and her message, derision emanates all too often against her within Pakistan. United States President Barak Obama found the news of the shooting “reprehensible, disgusting and tragic.” Past Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, Yousafzai had been “very brave in standing up for the rights of girls” and that the attackers had been “threatened by that kind of empowerment”. The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called it a “heinous and cowardly act.” Zardari described it as an attack on “civilized people.”
