KP legislator Fazle Hakim said he was big fan of Malala’s education message, but conceded the government had not built a single new school since coming to power a year ago. “People are upset at the lack of work,” he admitted. Building new schools is especially urgent since the troops that arrived in 2009 continue to use many schools as barracks and bases. Hakim said around 40 percent of schools in Swat Valley were currently being used by the military. “My own sister has not gone to school in two years because the school she attended is now occupied by the army and the other school is too far away and she can’t walk there alone. This is undermining Malala’s mission,” said medical officer Tariq Khan as he shopped at the local market. “For Malala’s struggle to succeed, give us back our schools please ... Otherwise Malala would have been shot and gone through all this trouble in vain.”
