PREVENTING VIOLENT EXTREMISM THROUGH PROMOTING INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT, TOLERANCE AND RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY

Summary

Although violent extremism is a global challenge and concern, and more than forty countries have experienced at least one terrorist attack, it is a fact that violent extremism thrives particularly where state authority is weak. In the ‘epi-center’s of violent extremism, thirty-four groups are now affiliated with Daesh, accounting for thirty-eight thousand fighters from 120 countries (including 32,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria).
