The pupils are alright at the Army Public School in Peshawar
The Islamists murdered 16 teachers and 132 children at the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Mishal Husain from the Today programme, writes in the Telegraph:
A further cycle of violence is what many in this country now fear, but vengeance is a powerful emotion. On our second morning of broadcasting from Peshawar, we watched a group of young men approach the school in smart green blazers and ties. They were students, who knew that their school was closed, but who wanted to make a statement by turning up at the gates in their uniform. ”We are not scared,’’ Aakif Azeem, 18, told me. ”You can take away our teachers, you can take away my friends, but you can’t take away my identity. This school is my identity.’’
After the horror, Aakif Azeem and his classmates makes us hopeful…
