Tunisian minister underlined that the objective of this meeting, hosted by Algeria, “is to try to protect the current and future generations from extremism, to find solutions and to take advantage of foreign and Arab international experiences in de-radicalization.”
He emphasized the role of media “in the face of violent extremism and the use of modern technological means and social networks for the recruitment of youth within terrorist organizations.”
While underlining the “holding of meetings and establishment of contacts with the countries suffering from terrorism to exchange of data on the presence of Tunisian young people within terrorist organizations,” the Tunisian minister denied the information relating to the existence of 6,000 Tunisian terrorists.”
