New Publication: Youth as Peacemakers – The Local Efforts in Eastern DR Congo 

The Global Taskforce for Youth Combatants (GTY) has released a new publication: “Youth as Peacemakers- The Local Efforts in Eastern DR Congo“ by Sylvain Akonkwa Nyamwira.

Sylvain comes from a place where it is more likely to see young people with a weapon than with 1$. His experience living amidst armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo led him to found a youth-led organization that gives young people alternative opportunities to shape their lives and realize their potential.

Sylvain shares: “Our vision is simple yet powerful: to transform young people from victims or participants in violence into leaders of peace.“

Find out more about Sylvain‘s unique story in the new GTY publication “Youth as Peacemakers- The Local Efforts in Eastern DR Congo“.
