Welcome to Shangla valley Pakistan largest mountains area.
Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai celebrated her 19th birthday at Dadaab refugee camp and said girls need education and should not be expelled to Somalia.
Thousands of schoolgirls risk becoming a “lost generation” if the government closes the camp, the world’s largest, she said on Tuesday.
The Pakistani teenage education activist said refugee students will be forced to end their education, because there are “no good” schools in Somalia and South Sudan. Malala said most girls are married off to men in the war-torn Somalia. “If they do not go to school, they will get married at a very early age. That would have been my future, if I did not go to school,” she said.
Malala was in the camp, where she celebrated her 19th birthday. She asked the government to make the repatriation voluntary. “The problem is there aren’t enough schools in Somalia. They should not be forced to move,” she said. “The camp is to be closed down soon. I want to make sure these girls don’t become a lost generation. There should be alternative facilities so they can continue their education.” Malala was shot in the head in 2012 by the Taliban which opposes girls education.
She won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner for courage in promoting girls’ education.
