Armed opposition groups, including the SPLA, were also known to have children in the irranks, according to the Coalition. The SPLA had repeatedly assured the UN that it would discontinue the use of child soldiers and, in February this year, cooperated with UNICEF and other agencies in the demobilisation of 3,200 such fighters, it said.

Youth Economic Development Initiative (YEDI) provides training for jobless youth

Date: 11 Jul 2005

A huge number of young people is pressing each year into the labor market of Yemen. The economic activity is too weak to create Jobs for more than a small number of lucky

exceptions. On the other hand it is very clear that there is a big Gap between the

qualifications available and the ones required by the market. In spite of the long line

of jobless citizens, skilled labor, qualified employees and even managers are often hired

from abroad. The job basis in Yemen is small and should create opportunities for its youth in the first place.
