The Egmont Institute has the pleasure to invite you to an expert seminar on 24 May 2019
with Professor Paul D. Williams, Associate Professor of International Affairs at the Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University.

Drawing from his new book, Fighting for Peace in Somalia, Prof. Paul Williams will present an overview of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), an operation deployed in 2007 to stabilize the country and defend its fledgling government from one of the world's deadliest militant organizations, Harakat al-Shabaab.

He will summarize AMISOM’s history over the last twelve years and discuss the mission's six most important challenges, namely, logistics, security sector reform, civilian protection, strategic communications, stabilization, and developing a successful exit strategy. These issues are all central to the broader debates about how to design effective peace operations in Africa and beyond.

Practical information:

The working language of the event will be English.
The meeting is on personal invitation only.

Places are limited so we kindly ask that you register by 17 May at the latest, by sending an e-mail to conferences@egmontinstitute.be.

EGMONT Institute: Extremist Offender Management in Belgium

Extremist Offender Management in Belgium By Thomas Renard (27 July 2020) In Other publications EU strategy and foreign policy, Middle-East / North Africa, Terrorism The presence of terrorist convicts in prison is not a new phenomenon in Belgium. However, radicalisation or recruitment was less visible, or at least less observed until it became a policy priority to monitor violent extremists in prison in 2015. This chapter, which is part of a broader report, analyses the specific policies and tools that have been developed in Belgium to address the challenge of radicalisation in prison, and the rehabilitation of terrorist offenders after their release. This chapter (view the PDF below) was published as part of the report “Extremist Offender Management in Europe: Country Reports” published by ICSR, and available here .
