Violent extremism is fast becoming a major threat to peace across the world, and many young people including children have been recruited into extremist groups. In the Eastern and Horn of Africa, as is the case in South Asia, Middle East, North Africa and now increasingly Europe and North America, more and more young people are being recruited into violence by extremist groups and organizations.

In this regard, Dr. Mustafa Y Ali will today take part in a World Youth Forum panel discussion that will address violent extremism affecting young people around the world. He will present on the role of faith communities and other non-state actors, as well as the role of state’s soft power in addressing violent extremism’s ideological foundations.
