Students from at least 20 institutions of higher learning in seven regional countries met in Kigali on Saturday to launch the Africa Youth Leadership Forum.The event was held at Integrated Polytechnic Regional Centre, Kigali. At the launch, Tim Kreutter, the founder and director of Cornerstone Development Africa, an organisation that seeks to build effective leadership academies in Rwanda and Uganda, urged university students to focus on unity and relationships when they become leaders. "History shows us that those who have achieved much or impacted the world have always been the kind of people who knew how to form strong bonds with a few like-minded friends while pursuing shared vision,” he said. A conflict-free world"If you want to succeed in life, you have to go with others because you do not know the challenges that may come to you.” AYLF was designed to operate as a youth leadership movement that is owned and advanced by members in the countries it operates in. According to Kreutter, training the youth in leadership  is to prepare  a  world free of conflicts. The national coordinator of AYLF Rwanda chapter, Godfrey Lugoloobi, said even if leadership training is not accessed to by all the youth in Rwanda, there is hope that those trained passes the skills to others.
