We are very happy that the youth in Somalia can now gather together and play
football to enjoy themselves because of the relative peace that is existing in Somalia
today. Our expectation is that, we need to put the youth closer to the security forces
so that they work with us in fighting crime in Somalia and finally pacifying Somalia.
Thats why the African Union is putting much effort in bringing the youth together and
closer to the security forces.

An event like this will take part in peace process in Mogadishu, you can also feel
the people were happy, and there was no enmity among the participants and
viewers. I believe the holding of the event came too late but I hope it will continue
and reach all districts in Banaadir region.
It should not be only us but to all districts and we being among the lucky pioneers.
We also hope the other 17 districts of the region will benefit from such event. I really
thank the AMISOM Police; they have done an excellent job. They brought 24
footballs as a donation to the district which we distributed to all the teams that have
attended todays event.

AMISOM Police Engage Somali Youth Through Football Matches

The Police component of the African Union Mission in Somalia has started an
aggressive community engagement exercise that will see them forge closer
ties with communities, youth and local administration across the country.
AMISOM Police led by Deputy Operations Coordinator SP Enos Kalulu joined
the District Commissioner of Warta Nabadda in Banaadir region Yasin Noor
Isse on Sunday for a football event that brought together youth teams in the
district.
Two local teams, Waaxda 5 (Xamar Bille) and Waaxda 1 (Janaraal Daauud)
played a match in an indoor football pitch before a massive gathering of other
youths.
The District Commissioner thanked AMISOM Police for supporting the event
saying, An event like this will contribute to the peace process in Mogadishu,
you can also feel the people were happy, and there was no enmity among the
participants and spectators. I believe holding of the event came too late but I
hope it will continue and reach all districts in Banaadir region.
AMISOM Police has been using football matches, as one way of engaging
youths who are prone to crime.
At the end of the match, the youths were awarded footballs donated by
AMISOM Police.
District Commissioner Isse added, It should not be only us but to all districts
and we being among the lucky pioneers. We also hope the other 17 districts
of the region will benefit from such event. I really thank the AMISOM Police;
