Editorial: Deferred Dreams

according to estimates by the International Monetary Fund, 62% of young people in Sudan suffer from unemployment.

The ongoing war, which began in April 2023, has continued to take its toll on the country’s youth. They have fallen victim to a conflict where finding work has become an exception, and pursuing their dreams a difficult path to follow.

The danger lies in the fact that some are forced to risk their lives in search of better opportunities, referring to illegal migration.

It is estimated that more than 50% of young people are affected by this problem.

It goes without saying that unemployment crisis and the problem of incomplete education due to the war have led young people to reach advanced stages of despair, to the point of risking their lives to find a better life.

According to recent estimates by the International Monetary Fund, Sudan has the highest unemployment rate in the world.

It is high time for the government to form a panel of experts to tackle the issue and to come out with a plan that can be implemented on the ground with the available resources through small-scale productive industries to utilize the latent energies and resources to the maximum, hence restore hope.
