| Brave Pakistani Girl Malala Yousafzai while Addressing United Nation |
NEW YORK: Malala Yousafzai, Pakistan teenager who was attacked by Taliban last year has addressed the United Nations today.
She on her 16th birthday told the United Nations that she would not be silenced by terrorists threats.
“The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in life, except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died, strength, courage and fervor was born, They thought that the bullet would silence us, but they failed,” she said in a speech to United Nations which was given several standing ovations.
Malala was shot in the head, last year by a Taliban gunman, along with two fellow girls, as she was coming back from her school in Pakistan's Swat Valley
