All over the world, the youths are winning. I'll love to see the same thing happening in my country.

Very soon my brother. It's a big challenge to the third world countries. The youths are making waves in Western world because the OLDER GENERATIONS there believe the youths can lead. @Emmanuel

@Evans; Yes, a good move. The only thing I don't like about Sebastian Kurz is his hatred or stringent policies against migrants to EU countries. Though, those perceived as illegal migrants . I am not supporting illegal migration. Just that, he is just too tough on it

Over the years migration has been a top notch issue several countries are deliberating on. I hope Kurz get soften as time goes on.
