Preventing Radicalization and Extremism Leading to Terrorism Policy Brief
Author(s):
Terrorism continues to pose a significant threat to international peace and security, causing devastating human and economic losses. Moreover, the interplay between terrorism and other security threats, such as conflict and organized crime, has further complicated violence dynamics and offered new avenues for terrorist groups to sustain themselves, gain a foothold, and control territories. This report from the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping, and Peacebuilding argues that, while terrorism is a global phenomenon, the African continent and the Arab world are bearing the brunt of its menace. The report explores the findings of CCCPA’s flagship program on Preventing Radicalization and Extremism Leading to Terrorism in Africa and the Arab world, from 2016 to the present.
