Akila Al-Hashimi "One of the decent members"

Riverbend talks about Akila because of her job and what she had done in the past. Riverbend says she was one of the decent members on the council. Riverbend also said Akila being shot sent a message that no woman is safe no matter how high up she is. Her being shot was a great deal and it stirred up many questions. Like who would want her dead and why. This lady seemed like she really was the first lady to really go against everyone. She really pushed the envelope. She doesn't wear a hijab, she is a woman with power, and she is a woman in general. I really gotta give props to Akila for what she is did. In a society like that change isn't too big of an idea, so for her to do that must have taken a great deal of heart. I also like how upset Riverbend is getting about it, she really cares about whats going on in her country and that makes her that much impressive.
