Young activist Malala Yousafzai has met with
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan... in
her campaign to help release the 2-hundred-19
Nigerian schoolgirls still missing since their
April abduction at the hands of Islamist militants.
The Pakistani teenager... who turned seventeen
on Saturday... said it was her birthday wish
to see them return home... and said Jonathan
promised to do all he could to accomplish
that end.
Malala also met with the parents of some of
the missing girls in Abuja on Sunday... and
told them she regarded their daughters as
her sisters and would stand up on their behalf.
Malala shot to fame after surviving a gunshot
wound to her head by Taliban forces, who tried
to silence the campaigner for girls' education.
