They are vibrant and represent the future of the nation. However, the youth are susceptible to extreme ideologies that certain extremist groups breach. There are a number of fundamentalist groups operate in somalia. They carry out numerous tactics to recruit the youth and convince them to inflict harm to the society.

Violence prevention, especially in relation to our youth, begins with introducing the idea of acceptance across various levels of diversity, including race, religion, gender, socioeconomic status, and more. Through tolerance, we can teach youth to respect each other and reduce feelings of indifference towards groups of different backgrounds.

The youth should value differences of opinions which pertains to various schools of thought on Islam.

The youth should be vigilant about the attitudes, behaviours that could incite hate and intolerance, which ultimately end up in violence.
