Malala Yousafzai - getting better every day - YouTube
The first part of the video is a Sky News report detailing the scheduled reconstructive surgery planned to be carried out on Malala Yousafzai at Queen
Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, England.
A titanium plate is to be fitted to Malala's skull and a cochlear implant to help her recover hearing in her left ear.
The second part of the video is news footage of Malala set to the music "It's getting better" sung by Cass Elliot.
The video concludes with the following end message from me Peter Dow for my AfPakMission channel video as follows.
We love Malala.
We hate the Taliban.
We are the good people.
The Taliban are evil.
The good people of Pakistan and all the world wish Malala
to get better every day.
Our military should kill every Taliban and help the world
to get better every day.
First the victory prize by wiping out the Taliban.
Then there will be peace
and time for peace prizes.
We have a war to win first.
Malala spoke to the camera before her surgery and the following video was released after her surgery.

Malala says
"I'm feeling alright and I am happy that the operations, both the operations are successful and you know, it was that kind of successful that now they
have removed everything from me and I can also walk a little bit, I can talk and I'm feeling better and it doesn't seem that I had a very big
operation, it seems that just a little bit anaesthetic injection just for five hours and then I wake up."
Consultant says
"Yes, but it was five hours, it was not a small procedure but you look remarkably good for it"
Malala says
"But it was very nice because there is no drainage system and I think everything is fine, it's better."
Consultant -
"Good"
Malala
"Yeh"
Consultant -
"and what are you looking forward to next?"
Malala
"I think that I will just get better very soon and there will be no problem, I would hear after one month, in this ear, I hope and the thing is that
my mission is the same, to help people and I will do that."
Consultant -
"Yes and what do you think of your treatment so far then, can you remember that?"
Malala -
"If I try to speak about my whole treatment, it started in Pakistan and they did a very successful and a very good operation of me and God gave me a
new life because of the prayers of people and because of the talent of doctors.
Here in Birmingham in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, here they did the operation of my nerves so after four or five months my left hand side of the face
would work, Insha' Allah.
They took care, a lot of care of me, intensive care and I think I'm inspired from the doctors and nurses - they are like my mother and father because
for ten days my mother and father were not with me but I had a lot of doctors and nurses who took care of me as if they were my parents."
