Young people must be in focus to build peace

Of: Gideon Ayodo

Despite many aid efforts to promote peace, conflicts continue to start around the world. In almost all conflicts, young people are used to commit and participate in violence. Therefore, Sweden, the EU and the UN should invest in supporting peace work aimed at young people, writes the organization Youth Alive! Kenya.

Hello everyone! My name is Katrin Kamph and I am Hi everyone! My name is Katrin Kamph and I am an intern at @sidasweden now during the spring semester of 2025. I am in my last semester of my Bachelor's degree in Politics with a specialization in economics in Uppsala. I belong to the Chief Economist Team (CET) and this means that I work together with Sida's Chief Economist. We are a support function that works across the entire organization and are not limited to a specific geography/theme. What am I allowed to do at my workplace then? Yes! For example, there is currently a number of analytical works being done aimed at analyzing multidimensional poverty in different contexts. What I have done is help with workshops, produced support material and also made graphs and tables of different development trends. Another slightly less technical task I have had is to help with external visits from other organizations, the second picture is from when the World Bank's Global Director for Poverty and Equity visited Sida and discussed poverty. I am interested in market development, development financing and economic analysis. That is why it is very fun to be at both Sida and CET! #sida #fuf #development #economics
– Save the Children and other organizations may need – Save the Children and other organizations can treat Gaza's malnourished children, but we are not allowed to do our job. Instead, children are forced to eat animal feed and leaves to avoid dying, Save the Children wrote in a debate piece in Aftonbladet last week. The crisis in Gaza has dominated discussions about global issues on Swedish debate and editorial pages. Critics say that the Swedish government should do more to stop starvation and bloodshed, while government representatives point out that they are already working to curb suffering through dialogue with Israeli representatives and with aid efforts. Other texts draw attention to the effects of Europe's energy and technology dependence on authoritarian states, while Trump's foreign and trade policies continue to draw criticism.

INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER!!!! My name is Sanna Brithé INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER!!!! My name is Sanna Brithéll and I am an environmental scientist who is doing a FUF internship at @slu.global in Uppsala this spring. Swipe for a video of my cozy office (and a bit messy desk 😅). Today I am in Lund, to help with a roundtable discussion for SLU's "Youth Institute", a program for high school students where they get to delve into a global challenge and write an essay connected to food security. Of those who submit their essay, some will have the opportunity to discuss their challenges and solutions with other students and experts in the field. One student will be nominated and will have the opportunity to participate in the international Global Youth Institute in the USA. See you in FUF's stories! 👋

For several years, a logo with the message "V" has adorned For several years, a logo with the message "Visit Rwanda" has adorned the uniforms of the Arsenal football team. This week it became clear that the uniforms of the Spanish Atlético de Madrid will also be updated. Rwanda has been investing heavily in tourism since 2009. According to the state tourism policy, the revenues should contribute to "sustainable economic growth and a fair distribution of assets for the benefit of all Rwandans". Our correspondent @elisjosefsson set out on the Congo Nile Trail and spoke to social entrepreneurs about how well they think tourism has succeeded in its goal of improving the lives of all Rwandans. #fufkorrespondenterna
Week 18 marked both the international press Week 18 marked both World Press Freedom Day and Donald Trump's first 100 days as US president. On Swedish editorial and debate pages, the debate revolved around the Turkish trial of Joakim Medin and Trump's attacks on academic and press freedom. - When a journalist is arrested for practicing journalism, it is an attack on the obvious freedom of the press and expression that should prevail. It is also ultimately an attack on democracy, writes the media companies' interest group Utgivarna in @aftonbladet.
