Nabeela Rahman (whos innocent family were victims of a US drone strike) cannot be given the same sympathy that is showered upon Malala — in a war, one’s own victims need to be ignored, whereas the enemy’s victims need to be highlighted. Therefore, as unfair as it might sound, Nabeela will not be getting a prize, nor will there be an audience when she speaks, and of course, there will be no celebrities eager to share the stage with her. Malala, on the other hand, will continue to be seen as the de facto poster girl, and her story will be told innumerable times, simply to justify NATO’s outings in Asia!!!
