Countering Radicalism and Extremism in the Middle East

The Program on Extremism at The George Washington University is pleased to host Her Excellency Alanood Ebrahim Al Khalifa, First Secretary at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Bahrain in the United Kingdom, for a discussion on Bahrain’s perspective on countering radicalism and extremism in the Middle East. Moderated by Senior Research Fellow Omar Mohammed, this conversation will examine Bahrain’s efforts to combat extremism, from counterterrorism policies to initiatives focused on preventing radicalization through education, media, and community engagement. The discussion will also explore Bahrain’s role in regional security cooperation, its partnerships in counterterrorism efforts, and the Kingdom’s broader commitment to promoting tolerance and coexistence through interfaith dialogue and social resilience. This event provides a unique opportunity to hear firsthand how Bahrain navigates the challenges of extremism and contributes to regional stability.
