Born on August 24, 1996 , in Allar,
Palestinian. Bashaer Othman is the youngest of 5 siblings, born to a peasant
family of Tariq Othman and Salwa Othman. Bashaer Othman is a world's youngest
mayor who led the city Allar, a small town on the West Bank Palestinians with a
population of approximately 9000 inhabitants. She became mayor for a term of 2
months since July 2, 2012 ,
having defeated more than 1000 candidate for mayor in a very strict selection
level of all. She could have spent the long, hot summer holiday hanging out
with friends or helping at home. But instead, 15-year-old Bashaer Othman is
making speeches, signing documents, chairing meetings, attending civic
functions and meeting citizens as mayor of Allar, a small Palestinian town high
in the West Bank hills.
Halfway through her term, Bashaer
has presided over a vote to set up a local fire department and establish
Allar's first public park with a children's playground. She has also
represented the town on a trip to Qatar .
But she identifies the most important local issue as unemployment, especially
among youth. "If I could achieve one thing, it would be to create a
project to provide as many youth jobs as possible," she says.
Every morning, Bashaer heads off to
the municipal offices, where she has full control – except for financial
matters – as part of an unusual summer experiment aimed at empowering young people.
For two months,
the regular mayor, Sufian Shadid, and his team of councillors have handed the
reins of power to a group of teenagers. The adults are on hand to advise and
offer guidance, but all the decisions are left to be made by the youngsters.
"At the
beginning, people were critical because of our age," says Bashaer.
"But then they saw us working, and that we were tough and dedicated, and
now they respect us."
Bashaer Othman
called for peaceful message that young people could be the torch of peace to
his community. She
confirmed that the young people in his country wants peace with Israel . Life is peaceful, harmonious, with a secure future and
where freedom is the younger generation of Palestinian expectations.
Bashaer Othman , who hopes her role as mayor will encourage
more women to become actively involved in public life, plans to pursue a
political career. But, first, she intends to study international issues at
university following her final two years at school. The youngest of seven
children, Bashaer says her family are supporting her unusual role this summer
and her ambitions.

young age he was able to prove his ability to lead a city with a population of
approximately 9000 inhabitants. She has a big thinking. She has a very high
sense of nationalism, she represents Palestinian youth to bring peace,

"If I could
achieve one thing, it would be to create a project to provide as many youth
jobs as possible," she says.
She was directly
