| Malala to return to Pakistan after finishing her studies in Britain Posted: 30 Mar 2018 11:02 AM PDT  Malala Yousafzai, the women's education activist and youngest ever Nobel Prize Winner, said yesterday that she plans to return permanently to Pakistan after finishing her studies in Britain. Ms Yousafzai, who is known across the world simply as 'Malala', was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012 while she was campaigning for female education in the Swat Valley. In her first visit to the country since the attack, she yesterday told Pakistani media that she plans to return to the country in two years - after finishing her course in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University. "My plan is to return to Pakistan as this is my country," she said. "The Pakistani government and military have helped me in visiting my home country. I will return to Pakistan permanently after completing my education." She described herself as "completely focusing on education" at Oxford, but said that she wanted "to work for the education of children and make it possible for every girl in Pakistan to receive a high-level education, to fulfil her dreams and become a part of society". Malala matriculated at the University of Oxford in October 2017. Credit: David Hartley While in Pakistan, Ms Yousafzai hopes to visit her home town in the Swat Valley, around 160 miles (250km) from the capital, Islamabad. It was there, in 2012, that a Taliban gunman singled her out on the bus she rode to school, and shot her in the head. Yesterday Ms Yousafzai, now 20, acknowledged the work of the Pakistani military in saving her life. "My treatment here was by Army doctors, and if they had not done my surgery in time I would not be here today," she said. After leaving Pakistan, she founded her own not-for-profit educational fund, the Malala Fund. She continued to write and campaign, and in 2013 co-authored her biography, I Am Malala. In 2014, she became the youngest-ever recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize Sources close to Ms Yousafzai's family yesterday told The Daily Telegraph that she had discussed with them her plans to move back to Pakistan, but had not yet decided what she would do upon her return. She told the media that she had missed "everything about Pakistan" while she had been studying in Britain. "Right from the rivers, the mountains, to even the dirty streets and the garbage around our house, and my friends and how we used to have gossip and talk about our school life, to how we used to fight with our neighbours," she said. Malala Yousafzai wins the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Credit: Andy Rain/EPA Aside from her educational commitments, she said that security concerns had prevented her from returning before now. A student who also attends Ms Yousafzai's Oxford college, Lady Margaret Hall, said yesterday that while studying she had plain clothes security detail with her at all times. Before beginning her degree at Oxford, she studied at Edgbaston High School for Girls in Birmingham. While many in Pakistan welcomed her return, others were more critical of her reforming stance and accused her of promoting her own, non-Islamic, values. A group of private schools in Pakistan declared Friday to be "I Am Not Malala Day", for what its spokesman described as her "anti-Islam and anti-Pakistan ideology". Responding to her critics, she said: "I am proud of my religion, and I am proud of my country." "I just don't know anything I've said that makes me anti-Pakistan or anti-Islam."

| Syria rebel group upbeat on Douma talks but denies deal Posted: 30 Mar 2018 06:29 AM PDT  BEIRUT/MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Syrian rebel group said on Friday that U.N.-mediated talks with Russia were "heading in the right direction" but denied it had agreed to evacuate the last insurgent-held enclave in eastern Ghouta. The town of Douma, controlled by the Jaish al-Islam rebel group, is the last patch of eastern Ghouta still held by insurgents who have been routed in a ferocious offensive by the Russian-backed Syrian military that began in February. Its recovery would seal a major victory for President Bashar al-Assad, crushing the last big rebel stronghold near Damascus seven years into a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions.

This has led to the worst of all satisficing comprises: an approach that views Russia as a competitor and adversary, but which does not require a great deal of investment, because the unstoppable Russian threat of today will evaporate when Russia inevitably collapses under the weight of its economic, political and demographic contradictions.
