Baraaro Peace and
Security Forum

The goal of BPSF is to ensure lasting peace in Somalia by exploring novel approaches to peace building and conflict resolution considering the religious-based conflicts, violent extremism, and terrorism. Among other things, it seeks space for dialogue with extremists, tolerance, forgiveness, and countering extremist narratives. It also promotes security through humanity, forgiveness, and financial support to civil criminals, extremists, and defectors from AlShabab and other terrorist groups.
