- Al-Issa touched on several crucial issues concerning the present and future of youth
Riyadh: Secretary-General of the Muslim World League Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa recently participated as a guest of honor in the Africa Youth Forum, held in Nairobi.
The forum aimed to provide young people with a platform to discuss their issues alongside prominent religious, political, and civic leaders.
Addressing the forum, Al-Issa touched on several crucial issues concerning the present and future of youth. He emphasized the pivotal role of young people in shaping the future of their countries and the need to implement plans that prioritize areas crucial to them, such as education.
He addressed troubling statistics related to youth, particularly in the context of education, highlighting that the situation is especially challenging for girls, who are deprived of education solely because of their gender.
Al-Issa urged a concerted effort to identify and address the barriers that hinder young people from accessing quality education, underlining the shared responsibility in finding effective solutions.
He also discussed the role of youth in facilitating dialogue between followers of different religions and cultures, the influence of extremist ideas on some young people, and the essential role of youth in charitable endeavors.
The MWL chief underscored the need to go beyond exchanging views on youth-related issues and translate these discussions into effective plans with tangible impact.
The Youth Parliament of Kenya hosted Al-Issa for a session in which he emphasized the importance of considering young people’s interests when shaping future policies.
