These “rough times” included the Taliban, Fazlullah, etc. It started off with the radio or ‘mullah,’ where a man named Fazlullah would share advice such as, “Stop going to movies. Stop dancing. Stop, he begged, or God will send another earthquake to punish us all.” (Yousafzai, pg. 39). But soon, advice on a radio later turned into a horrid nightmare.
