Somali youth groups in the capital Mogadishu have marched in the major streets in the capital today to show their support for the government while denouncing Al Shabaab militant group actions.
The peaceful demonstration which was organized by center for community dialogue brought together youth groups, women organizations and all district commissioners of Mogadishu municipality.
The protesters chanted anti Al Shabaab slogans while carrying placards that contained messages of peace and patriotism.
The chairman of center for community dialogue Issa Ahmed Omar has urged members of youth to take part in the stabilization of the country.
“The population of the young people in this country is 75 percent and they have important role to play in security and peace building,” He said.
This is not the first time that a protest to denounce Al Shabaab militant group activity in the country was held in Somali capital Mogadishu.
Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh and Mogadishu Mayor Mohamed Hussein Mungab attended anti Al Shabaab protest after the group’s deadly assault on the Somali presidential palace and parliament on july.
