The psychological impact of violent extremism lasts far beyond the moment of attack. Women from #Somalia🇸🇴 recount the 2017 Zoobe bombing in Mogadishu, one of the deadliest attacks in the country’s history that left hundreds dead, thousands injured, and businesses destroyed. Reliving the history, they warn young people about extremists' false promises and call for vigilance.

The @IGADLeadership Alumni Network today convened a regional webinar to deliberate on the ways that youth platforms can contribute to peace and security efforts in the IGAD region. The event brought together youth from across the region and beyond, who shared experiences and practical insights on strengthening youth-led peace initiatives.
In his address, ILA Director @DrKinyanjui commended the youth for increasingly demonstrating leadership and readiness to seek solutions to issues facing the continent.
Mr Moges Ali from the IGAD Peace and Security Division emphasised the need for the youth to strategically organise themselves to ensure their initiatives make meaningful impact.
Other panellists, including Ms Wanjiku Kamau of @iphrdafrica and Safia Mohamed of Somalia Justice and Development Initiative, urged meaningful youth inclusion in governance and peace efforts.
Alumni initiatives not only amplify ILA’s post-training engagement but also reflect the growing impact of the Academy’s mission to empower youth to contribute meaningfully to leadership, peacebuilding, and governance.
