Interreligious dialogue in counteracting violent extremism in Africa
This bilingual publication presents the key messages, findings and summary of the debates organised by the Club of Lisbon with the collaboration and support of KAICIID, and in partnership with academic institutions from four Universities – Coimbra, Évora, Minho and Autónoma de Lisboa
This series of seminars looked at the use of religion to justify violence on the African continent, specifically in four case studies: Nigeria, Mozambique, Kenya and the Central African Republic. Key national and international actors shared their perspectives on the role of interfaith dialog in resolving conflicts and preventing violent extremism.
The seminars contributed to reinforce awareness, reflection and sharing on peacebuilding on the African continent and on ways to effectively counter extremist narratives that incite to violence.
