Nzara County caretaker Commissioner Robert Raphael Ruati Mandri has urged young people to reject criminal activities and divisive politics.<\/p>\n

He called on youth to embrace peace, unity and productive activities that contribute to community development.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media at his residence in Nzara on Saturday, Robert described young people as the foundation of the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe youth are the backbone of the nation. I urge them not to involve themselves in bad politics or allow politicians to use them for their personal interests,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He encouraged young people to focus on entrepreneurship, business, agriculture, sports and education.<\/p>\n

Robert said engaging in productive activities would help youth improve their livelihoods and contribute to peaceful communities.<\/p>\n

His remarks come amid political preparations for primary and general elections, with growing calls for young people to avoid political manipulation and violence.<\/p>\n

The commissioner also urged communities across Nzara County to embrace peace, unity and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

He said peaceful coexistence was essential for achieving development and strengthening relationships among communities.<\/p>\n

Robert further called on parents and guardians to prioritise their children’s education, describing it as an important investment in the future.<\/p>\n

On the electoral process, he encouraged residents to participate in voter registration and exercise their democratic rights.<\/p>\n

He urged eligible voters to choose leaders of their preference at both state and national levels through peaceful and democratic processes.<\/p>\n

The caretaker commissioner also raised concerns about public health, urging communities to maintain healthy practices amid reports of suspected Ebola cases in neighbouring parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the importance of disease prevention, early reporting and responsible health practices to protect communities.<\/p>\n

Robert’s message highlighted the importance of youth participation in development, peaceful political engagement, education and public health awareness.<\/p>\n

He called on residents to work together towards building a peaceful and united Nzara County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
