Tubta Nabaada "Path to Peace"

This week on #TubtaNabadda, we focus on Youth Political Participation in Somalia. More than 65 percent of Somali population are under the age of 25 and many of them are willing to be change-makers and to actively take part in politics. We interview Fadumo Abdullahi Hassan a member of XIIS party and a political aspirant about obstacles Somali youth encounter in trying to participate politics and her experience of participating in a training of young political aspirants held in Mogadishu. We also interview Ahmed Addow Ali, youth activist about why it is important for Somali youth to be involved in politics and decision-making processes in Somalia. He also discusses about how his organization, Somali Youth Volunteers Association, support youth efforts.
