Youth who decided to go for issue-based politics and abandon shallow ethnic coalitions


When the season for political campaigns set in in 2007, ethnicity was used by our politicians as the galvanising and primary tool to mobilise political support. these caused different political inclination among people in the community which later resulted into inter tribal conflicts, where the youth were the most used as weapons of war.
it took the effort of a local youth group which helped to unite the youth and remove the threads of ethnicity among them. the group also advised the youth to be involved in issue - based politics rather than shallow ethnic coalitions that will cause rivalry among them.
