Malala talks about the Taliban’s forced changes. Music is outlawed and Buddha statues are destroyed. Malala says it seems no one is doing anything to stop the Taliban, who have now moved into the Pakistan capital city of Islamabad. The situation deteriorates but Malala says her people hold to “one ray of hope” that Benazir Bhutto will return to lead the country. She is an important role model to young girls and Malala says she is excited that Benazir is returning from a lengthy exile. But, she is attacked before she can take power. The army and Taliban clash as the Taliban sets out to enforce rules such as the length of a man’s beard and those failing to observe purdah, a practice in which the women live separately from the men and completely cover themselves at all times. Then, Benazir is attacked again and this time she dies.
