36
93389
1821

37

01:50
He was waiting.

01:52
He was waiting for an opportunity,

This was the first thing that pulled him out

taasi waxey aheed waxa ugu waxa ugu horeeyey ee dhiira giliya
02:02
of what we call waithood.
44
110520
2940
oo aaan ugu wacno waqtiga dheer ee la sugo.
02:05
And his story repeats itself
45
113460
2296
sheekadiisna waxey ku soo laalaabatey
02:07
in urban centers around the world.
46
115756
2416
xarumaha magaalooyinka aduunka oo dhan.
02:10
It is the story of the disenfranchised,
47
118172
2754
waa sheekadii la iloobey
02:12
unemployed urban youth
48
120926
1808
shaqo la'aanta dhalinyarada magaalada
02:14
who sparks riots in Johannesburg,
49
122734
3943
kuwaas oo ku kacey rabshadooyin gudaha Johannesburg,
02:18
sparks riots in London,
50
126677

who reaches out for something other than waithood.
51
129011
4654
ayagoo raadinayaan wado ay ugu bixi karaan fadhigaasi
02:25
For young people, the promise of the city,
52
133665
2664
dhalinta yer, balanqaadyadu waa magaalada,
02:28
the big city dream is that of opportunity,
53
136329
2694
riyada ugu weyn ee magaalada oo ah fursad
02:31
of jobs, of wealth,
54
139023
2155
oo shaqo ah, oo hanti ah
02:33
but young people are not sharing
in the prosperity of their cities.
in the prosperity of their cities.
55
141178
3741
laakin dadka dhalinyarada kama qeyb qaadanayan barwaqoyinka magaloyinkoda.
02:36
Often it's youth who suffer from
the highest unemployment rates.
the highest unemployment rates.
56
144919
4098
inta badan waa dhalinyarada kuwa ka cowda shaqo la'aanta heerka ugu sareeyo.
02:41
By 2030, three out of five people living in cities
57
149017
3193
2030, saddex ka mid ah shantii qof ee ku nool magaalooyinka
02:44
will be under the age of 18.
58
152210
2560
Waxey da'doda ka yaraan doontaa 18 jir.
02:46
If we do not include young people
59
154770
1764
hadii aan ku darin dadka dhalinyarada ah
02:48
in the growth of our cities,
60
156534
1819
koritaanka magaalooyinkeena,
02:50
if we do not provide them opportunities,
61
158353
2479
Hadii aanan siin fursado,
02:52
the story of waithood,
62
160832
2022
sheekadii fadhiga,
02:54
the gateway to terrorism, to violence, to gangs,
63
162854
2913
wadadii argagaxisnimada, rabshadaha, gaangisterada,
02:57
will be the story of cities 2.0.
64
165767
4175
waxey noqon doontaa sheekada magaalooyinka ee mustaqbalka.
03:01
And in my city of birth, Mogadishu,
65
169942
3161
magaalada aan ku dhashay, mogadishu,
03:05
70 percent of young people
suffer from unemployment.
suffer from unemployment.
66
173103
3690
boqolkiiba 70 dadka dhalinyarada ah waxey ka cabanaayaan shaqo la'an.
03:08
70 percent don't work,
67
176793
2378
boqolkiiba 70 ma shaqeeyaan.
03:11
don't go to school.
68
179171
2027
ma aadaan dugsiyada.
03:13
They pretty much do nothing.
69
181198
2425
ugu yaraantii wax ay sameeyaan malahan.
03:15
I went back to Mogadishu last month,
70
183623
3516
waxaan dib ugu laabtey mogadisho bishii inasoo dhaaftey,
03:19
and I went to visit Madina Hospital,
71
187139
2010
waxaan booqasho ku tagey isbitaalka madina,
03:21
the hospital I was born in.
72
189149
2048
isbitaalka aan ku dhashay.
03:23
I remember standing in front of that
73
191197
2025
waxaan xasustaa anoo meeshas hor istagsan
03:25
bullet-ridden hospital thinking,
74
193222
2978
rasaa lagu fuuli jiray fikirka isbitaalka,
03:28
what if I had never left?
75
196200
2033
Maxaa dhici lahaa hadii aan tagi laheen?
03:30
What if I had been forced
76
198233
1193
ka waran hadii la i qasbi lahaa
03:31
into that same state of waithood?
77
199426
2519
noloshaasi mid lamid ah oo fadhiga ah?
03:33
Would I have become a terrorist?
78
201945
4011
ma noqon lahaa argagaxiso?
03:37
I'm not really sure about the answer.
79
205956
2891
run ahaantii jawaabta ma hubo.
03:40
My reason for being in Mogadishu that month
80
208847
2168
sababta aan mogadisho u joogey bishaasi
03:43
was actually to host
81
211015
1547
waxy aheyd run ahaantii in aan martigeliyo.
03:44
a youth leadership and entrepreneurship summit.
82
212562
2547
shir ku sabsan hogaaminta iyo shaqo u abuurista dhalinyarada.
03:47
I brought together about 90 young Somali leaders.
83
215109
2996
waxan isku keeney ku dhowaad 90 kamid ah hogamiyayasha dhalinyara somalida.
03:50
We sat down and brainstormed on solutions
84
218105
2246
waan wada fadhiisaney waxaana bilaabney in aan xalal raadino
03:52
to the biggest challenges facing their city.
85
220351
2876
dhibaatooyinka ugu weyn ee ay waja heyso magaaladooda.
03:55
One of the young men in the room was Aden.
86
223227
3402
mid ka mid ah dhalinyarada qolka ku jirtey wuxuu ahaa Aadan.
03:58
He went to university in Mogadishu, graduated.
87
226629
4455
wuxuu tagey jaamacad ku taalo mogadisho, waana ka qalanjabiyey.
04:03
There were no jobs, no opportunities.
88
231084
2189
shaqooyin malahan, fursado malahan.
04:05
I remember him telling me,
89
233273
1718
waxaan xasuustaa asagoo ii sheegaayo.,
04:06
because he was a college graduate,
90
234991
2808
sababto ah wuxuu ahaa qof jamacad ka qalanjabiyey,
04:09
unemployed, frustrated,
91
237799
2750
aanan shaqeyneynin, daalan,
04:12
that he was the perfect target for al Shabaab
92
240549
2397
uuna ahaa bartilmaameedka ugu fiican ee alshabaab
04:14
and other terrorist organizations, to be recruited.
93
242946
3052
iyo urarada kele ee argagaxisada, in ay qortaan.
04:17
They sought people like him out.
94
245998
3878
waxey raadiyaan dadka asaga lamid ah.
04:21
But his story takes a different route.
95
249876
3096
laakiin sheekadiisa waxey aadeysaa wado kale.
04:24
In Mogadishu, the biggest barrier
96
252972
1937
mogadisho , caqabada ugu weyn ee
04:26
to getting from point A to point B are the roads.
97
254909
3253
si aad u martid Boos A iaa boos B waa wadooyinka.
04:30
Twenty-three years of civil war
98
258162
1783
sadex iyo labaatan sano ee dagaalo sokeeye
04:31
have completely destroyed the road system,
99
259945
2231
ayaa si buuxda u burburiyey nidaamka wadooyinka.
04:34
and a motorbike can be the easiest way
100
262176
2009
iyo mootooyinka waxey noqon karaan habka ugu fudud
04:36
to get around.
101
264185
1630
in wax lagu kala gudbisto.
04:37
Aden saw an opportunity and seized it.
102
265815
3241
Adan wuxuu arkey fursad wuuna uu qabtey.
04:41
He started a motorbike company.
103
269056
2125
wuxuu bilaabey shirkad mooto.
04:43
He began renting out motorbikes
104
271181
2291
wuxuuna bilaabey in uu kireeyo mootooyinka
04:45
to local residents who couldn't normally afford them.
105
273472
3300
dadka deegaanka oo aan sida caadiga ah iyaga awoodi kari waayay.
04:48
He bought 10 bikes, with the help
106
276772
2021
wuxuu soo iibsaday 10 baaskiilada, iyadoo la kaashanayo
04:50
of family and friends,
107
278793
1698
qoyskiisa iyo saaxiibo,
04:52
and his dream is to eventually expand
108
280491
1733
Ridiisa waxey aheed in uu balaariyo
04:54
to several hundred within the next three years.
109
282224
2981
ilaa dhowr iyo boqol sadaxda sano ee soo socta gudahood.
04:57
How is this story different?
110
285205
2568
sidee sheekadaan u kala duwantahay?
04:59
What makes his story different?
111
287773
2357
maxaa ka dhigaya in ay ka duwanaato?
05:02
I believe it is his ability to identify
112
290130
2830
waxaan aaminsanahay in ay tahay awooda wax lagu kala arko
05:04
and seize a new opportunity.
113
292960
3338
iyo ka faa'ideysashada fursadaha cusub.
05:08
It's entrepreneurship,
114
296298
2031
Waa lahaanshaha ganacsi,
05:10
and I believe entrepreneurship can be
115
298329
1759
iyo waxaan aaminsanahay lahaanshaha ganacsi noqon karto
05:12
the most powerful tool against waithood.
116
300088
2978
aalada ugu weyn ee lagag hortago fadhiga.
05:15
It empowers young people
117
303066
1770
waxey xoojineysaa dadka dhalinyarada ah
05:16
to be the creators of the very economic opportunities
118
304836
3380
in ay abuuraan fursado dhaqaale
05:20
they are so desperately seeking.
119
308216
2498
waxay sidaa darteed si ba'an u raadinayaan.
05:22
And you can train young people to be entrepreneurs.
120
310714
3682
waxadna abooda in aad tababartid dadka dhalinyarada ah si ay u noqdan dad shaqo abuur leh.
05:26
I want to talk to you about a young man
121
314396
2116
waxaan rabaa in aan idin kala hadlo nin dhalinyaro ah
05:28
who attended one of my meetings,
122
316512
2289
kaas oo kasoo qeyb galey mid ka mid ah kulamadeyda,
05:30
Mohamed Mohamoud, a florist.
123
318801
2884
Mohamed Mohamoud, ubaxiste.
05:33
He was helping me train some of the young people
124
321685
1683
wuxuu igu caawinaayey tababarida qaar kamid ah dhalinyarada.
05:35
at the summit in entrepreneurship
125
323368
1437
intii aan ku guda jirney shirkii shaqo abuurista
05:36
and how to be innovative
126
324805
1622
iyo sidii aad ku noqon laheed wax soo saare.
05:38
and how to create a culture of entrepreneurship.
127
326427
2767
iyo sida loo abuuro karo dhaqan ahi lahaanshaha ganacsi.
05:41
He's actually the first florist Mogadishu has seen
128
329194
2497
dhab ahaantii wuxuu ahaa qofkii ugu horeeyey ee ubaxiste ah oo ay aragto mogadisho
05:43
in over 22 years,
129
331691
2684
in ka badan 22 sano,
05:46
and until recently, until Mohamed came along,
130
334375
3264
ilaa iyo hada, uu Mohamed ka yimid.
05:49
if you wanted flowers at your wedding,
131
337639
1890
haddii aad arooskaada udoonaysid ubax
05:51
you used plastic bouquets
132
339529
1393
waa in aad isticmaashaa ubaxa palaastiga ah
05:52
shipped from abroad.
133
340922
1586
laga keeney dibada.
05:54
If you asked someone,
134
342508
1806
hadaad qof weydisid.
05:56
"When was the last time you saw fresh flowers?"
135
344314
2275
goormee kugu dambeysey in aad aragto ubax dabiici ah?
05:58
for many who grew up under civil war,
136
346589
2586
inta badan dadka ku soo korey dagaalada sokeeye,
06:01
the answer would be, "Never."
137
349175
2783
jawaabta waa "marna"
06:03
So Mohamed saw an opportunity.
138
351958
1948
sidaas darteed mohamed wuxuu arkey fursad,
06:05
He started a landscaping and design floral company.
139
353906
4447
Waxa uu bilaabay beerista iyo naqshadda shirkadda ubaxa.
06:10
He created a farm right outside of Mogadishu,
140

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mohamed Ali - Human rights advocateHuman rights advocate Mohamed Ali fights terrorism with entrepreneurship.
Why you should listen
In urban hubs like Mogadishu, says Mohamed Ali, we're losing our brightest minds to terrorism and violence. Why not channel the energy of ambitious and eager young people toward innovation instead of destruction? Ali is doing his part to make this dream a reality. He is the Executive Director of the Iftiin Foundation, an organization that builds and supports young entrepreneurs to encourage a culture of change and innovation in Somalia and other post-conflict countries. Ali believes these untapped youths can become figures of hope for their communities and ultimately promote peace and stability in the region.
Ali is a founding member of End Famine, a campaign founded in 2011 aimed at promoting food security and eradicating famine worldwide, starting with the Horn of Africa. Ali has a law degree from Boston College Law School.
