Addressing the gathering, Ms. Salama Njie, the National Network Coordinator West Africa Network for Peace Building-The Gambia (WANEP), reminded that youth are mostly used by politicians to win positions and neglect them afterwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vulnerability of young people to political exploitation and election related violence in an already fragmental society could with growing ethnic diversions and political party disputes cause concern for all of us and we are used by political leaders to gained their posts,\u201d she pointed out.<\/b><\/p>\n

She explained that youth consist 64% of the country\u2019s population, yet meaningful participation of young men and women in governance system, remains a challenge.<\/p>\n

She advised them to desist from being used by political leaders to disturb the country\u2019s peace by attacking their opponent and inciting violence, rather they should be involved in politics, decision-making and promote peace ahead of the local election.<\/p>\n

Tijan Bah, the assistant national early warning systems manager at WANEP, expressed optimism that the forum would produce a road map for young people to be involved in decision making levels and be agents for peace in their various communities.<\/p>\n
