Youngest Nobel Laureate Flies To Kenya To Celebrate Her 19th Birthday At A Camp The Kenyan Government Is Keen To Shut Down
World’s youngest Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai is jetted into the 254 to celebrate her 19th birthday in Northern Kenya.
For starters, Malala won Nobel Prize in 2014 aged 17 for her activism for female education in Pakistan. Her resilience in advocating for female education saw her get shot in the head by terrorist group, Taliban, which was against women education in Pakistan.
The Pakistani youth activist jetted into the country yesterday to visit refugees at Dadaab camp as she also celebrated her 19th birthday.
The visit to Daadab is seen as a kind gesture to the Kenyan government to change its intended decision of closing the camp.
Daadab camp is the world’s largest refugee camp hosting over 300,000 refugees mainly from the war-torn Somalia.
Kenyan government’s plan to close Daadab by 2017 has sparked fears in the international community as the refugees will be forced to return to Somalia which is still overwhelmed by conflict.
