Young graduates peacefully protesting in front of institutions in Obock were arrested by the police, following Colonel Kamil’s orders. This tense situation raises concerns about how other graduates might react. Unjustly detaining graduates peacefully expressing their concerns is an abuse of power and a violation of their rights.

Authorities should consider the graduates’ demands and seek alternative solutions to address their legitimate concerns. Dialogue, negotiation, and appropriate support measures can peacefully resolve this conflict. Meanwhile, civil society, youth associations, and other stakeholders should render support to the  graduates. Collaborative efforts may prevent further escalation.
