Somali Youth ministry expresses concern over the higher rate of jobless youth

Somali ministry for youth and Sports has expressed concern over the increasing rate of jobless youth in the country amid Somali government wrestling peace restoration and fighting against Youth radicalization.

Minister for Youth and Sports, Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan Nooh said that his ministry feels problems such as jobless which affected the youth who graduated from the various Universities in the country.

“We are feeling the pain caused by unemployment. Learning institutions across the country produce a lot of bright energetic graduators who need jobs. My ministry will give first priority to Youth and projects to create jobs for them” said the minister.

He added “in the ministry’s efforts to create jobs for youth there had been 20 youths completed vocational trainings organized by the ministry”

Similarly, the minister underlined that the federal government is committed to lower the rate of jobless youth by creating new opportunities for young elite Somalis wandering in the streets.

Most of people in Southern Somalia especially the youth who graduated from the various Universities in the country are jobless, the youth believe that their rightful positions of work were taken over by floods of foreigners from the neighbouring countries and other nations in the continent attracted to Somalia by the stability.

Many people accept as true that the increasing unemployment in Somalia, especially among university graduates, has fuelled conflicts, theft, migration of young energetic, skilled and semi skilled people from Somalia and drug addiction.
