Islamic coalition launches training program in Comoros
RIYADH: A new training program, 'Building the Capacity of Imams and Preachers,' has been launched in Moroni, Comoros, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
Organized by the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, the initiative is part of the organization's broader intellectual strategy.
Comoros Defense Minister Youssoufa Mohamed Ali reaffirmed his country's commitment to the coalition in combating extremism and eradicating terrorism.
He highlighted the coalition's key role, particularly its focus on intellectual engagement, and said the program's launch was a significant step forward.
Maj. Gen. Mohammed Al-Moghedi, the coalition's secretary-general from Saudi Arabia, said the initiative was part of a wider effort involving 15 strategic programs across four areas — intellectual development, media, counter-terrorism financing and military operations.
Recently, the coalition held specialized training on combating terrorist financing in Bamako, Mali. The program aimed to strengthen national capacity to counter terrorist financing and money laundering.
