INTRODUCTION:
YPM was organized in 1992 in Mogadishu on basis of protecting the Somali youth not to participate or involve in the Somali civil war, which was out mandate and objective.
It was a useless tragic civil war that caused more than eighty thousand losses of lives of young generations and a total collapse of the country infrastructure, especially in the Somalia capital city of Mogadishu for it was the place where most of civil war took place. This movement was founded by a group of young Somali educators who strongly felt sick by the great disaster of the Somali civil war to the young people.
THE MOVEMENT OBJECTIVES:
The movement has specific objectives to deal with such as:To demobilize the young generations forced to the civil war, To conduct mental and physical awareness towards the baseless civil war to the vulnerable Somali young generation, To organize a youth club for the young generations, To prepare for the young generations to become skilled professionals to cover their living situations, To establish an income generating source for young generations.
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MOVEMENT:
1- Lack of local and International assistance
2- Lack of good materials to support to make them skilled persons
3- Lack of work shops to practice skilled like mechanics, electricity etc
Our movement has joined STS member organizations on 5 January 2002 since that time we were counting on our efforts to do that grate job for the Somali young generations. So that we are expecting in the future that STS International Solidarity will be our prospective assistant to the movement.
