15-11-2011 07:41 Re: Youth Participation in Conflict, Peace and Security I think Youths should participate fully in bringing peace and security. They should not allow themselves to be used in bringing violence in their countries by selfish individuals or politicians.It has been discovered that a lot of youths especially unemployed, street kids and frustrated youths are used as conduits for conflicts and violence. This has been observed in almost all the countries. The question that we should ask ourselves is "What makes youths to participate in violence?" Answers can be many. Others participate in violence because of frustrations, unemployment, bad governmental policies to alleviate poverty, higher educational fees etc. The solutions to some of these questions can only be achieved when both the government and citizens come together on round tables and discuss issues and change certain policies that are favourable to everyone. We have seen in countries like Yemen, Bahrain, Libya where the majority of the people who are fighting for equity and good policies are the youths.Politicians also should learn to understand the problems that people are going through. They should not be selfish. We have seen in these countries a lot of youths taking part in demonstrations in bringing change in their nations. Peaceful demonstrations are the only solutions to bringing stability and peace in nations where they are conflicts.
