It is believed that the current government led by President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has paid some attention to the inclusion of youths in the government which is a sign of hope for the youths. The creation of youths’ parliament and National Youth Policy are some of the achievements of the current government in promoting youths’ participation.

Illiterate warlords and tribal leaders will ultimately lose their power and will be overtaken by the youths in the years to come.
