Casa Árabe is beginning a series of conferences on fighting radicalization and extremism in Arab countries.
The event will be presented by Ignacio Ybañez, State Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and will include speeches by Fernando Reinares, a researcher with the Real Instituto Elcano who specializes in international terrorism; Dahane Ahmed Mahmoud, executive director of the Institut Mauritanien pour les Études Stratégiques; Khalil Al Amine, a public prosecutor in North Nouakchott and Abdel Kader Mohamed Ahmedou, director general of Europe with the Mauritanian Foreign Affairs Ministry.
For the year of 2016, Casa Árabe has scheduled a series of presentations on national programs in Arab countries to fight against radicalization and extremism. The decision to organize this series was based on two considerations: on the one hand, radicalism constitutes a general domestic and foreign threat which requires all-encompassing attention and treatment, and on the other, there are national programs in Arab countries which deal with this phenomenon and are providing fruitful experiences that are worthy of being taken into consideration and studied.
We will be beginning this series of conferences with Mauritania and then intend to include all of the Arab countries gradually. The presentation will be given by the individuals responsible for three different areas of the government in Mauritania, who work on programs to fight radicalization. They will be accompanied by the Spanish expert Fernando Reinares. The idea is to introduce the national Arab program from a global perspective that includes the factors of prevention, repression and social re-integration, as well as national, regional and international aspects.
