ENC In-Depth Podcast: How the EU is Contributing to Countering Militant Islamist Activities in MENA

The in-depth discussion is dedicated to the recently published ENC Analysis “EU Counter-Terrorism Efforts & MENA Violent Extremism: Did the EU Help MENA Countries Enhance their Security?” by our Academic Council Member Dr. Ebtisam Hussein.

In her article, Dr. Ebtisam Hussein describes how the European Union has effectively contributed to inhibiting militant Islamist activities by implementing strategies that make it more difficult for militants to exploit the internet and initiating collaborative projects with MENA countries to combat violent extremism more effectively.

The discussion was moderated by Samuel Doveri Vesterbye, ENC Managing Director, and features the comments and insights of Dr. Ebtisam Hussein, ENC Academic Council Member and Associate Professor of Political Science at Cairo University.
