Youth Against Tribalism In Africa
YATIA-Africa mobilizes youth across the continent to end tribalism, stop wars, and build a united, peaceful Africa.
We are a youth-led Pan-African movement confronting the divisions that hold our continent back—and organizing for the peace, freedom and solidarity Africa deserves.
YATIA-Africa fights tribalism, ethnic discrimination and violent conflict. We advocate for civilians in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, mobilize young people in their communities, and press the African Union to turn the promise of One Africa into practical progress.
Five urgent fronts. One continental principle: African lives and African unity cannot wait.
We call for an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians and unhindered humanitarian access—while keeping Sudanese voices at the center.
Ceasefire nowWe advocate for an end to violence in eastern DRC, meaningful regional action and justice for communities carrying the cost of conflict.
Justice for victimsWe call on Africa to tear down colonial-era borders: free movement for Africans, one African passport and an end to visa barriers between African countries. Africa is one homeland. The tribe is Africa.
One homelandOur AU Watch tracks promises on peace, free movement and continental trade—and turns gaps into public scorecards and concrete recommendations.
AccountabilityCampus and community chapters give young leaders the tools to challenge prejudice, convene dialogue and organize practical peacebuilding work.
Organize locallyFounded in Liberia in 2009, YATIA began with a clear belief: young people can break the cycles of discrimination and conflict. That foundation now powers a continental vision.
YATIA was founded to advance peaceful coexistence, human rights, education, democracy and youth capacity in Liberia.
Our work has included partnerships with Liberia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports, Liberia Peacebuilding Office, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, UNICEF, IOM, the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia, and rural Liberian communities.
We are growing from a nationally rooted organization into a Pan-African movement for youth mobilization, peace advocacy and accountable continental leadership.
Building resilience, tolerance, peace and diversity beyond race, ethnicity and religion across communities.
