conflict through military action, 30.2% peacefully, and 1.8% using
the pressure of international organizations, says a report on the
`News from young people’ public opinion poll conducted by the
National Youth Organizations Council.
4.8% of respondents said they do not believe in the conflict
resolution, while 2.6% had difficulty answering the question, and
6.2% made other proposals.
The poll was conducted among 1,500 people aged between 16 and 35. 500

problems relating to education, unemployment, and financial
constraints.

April.*
