Malala Yousafzai just graduated from Oxford

Nobel laureate and education activist Malala Yousafzai just graduated from the University of Oxford. She took to social media to share the good news.

“Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford,” she said in a post on Instagram. The 22-year-old shared that she didn’t know what she was going to do next. “For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep,” she said.

Actor and producer Mindy Kaling congratulated Malala and said: “Enjoy you Netflix.”

“Congratulations fren,” said everyone’s favourite Insta account Swineryy. While Blackish star Yara Shahidi commented and said: “Incredible.” Celebrities such as Ali Sethi, Priyanka Chopra and many others also left encouraging comments on Malala’s photos.

Malala was born and brought up in the volatile Swat Valley and while taking the bus home from school, in October 2012, she, and two other girls, were shot by a Taliban gunman: she was hit in the head by a bullet, but survived and eventually recovered.

In 2014, Malala became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her efforts for children’s rights.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
