The word “SYL” historically stands for Somali youth image as their league name. The Somali Youth League, initially known as the Somali Youth Club, was the first political party in Somalia. It played a key role in the nation’s road to independence during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
The SYL’s stated objectives were to unify all Somali territories, including the NFD and the Ogaden; to create opportunities for universal modern education; to develop the Somali language by a standard national orthography; to safeguard Somali interests; and to oppose the restoration of Italian rule.
