Chronic civil war. You have aqap saying lets not beat up the tribes to try and maintain our safe haven. They just couldnt bring themselves to do it. They still use these oppressive measures on the local population. So i think that is going to be the key if they can hold remote territory where maybe there arent Major Population Centers for a little bit rebuilding, then maybe you might see Something Like irraqqa but its not raqqa a major population like mosul. Right now they arent going to be able to do that. That doesnt mean they arent going to be able to do it in five years, which is a concern. Dr. Ayari, i would be remiss if i didnt ask about events in libya on tunisia. Im curious if you could give us a sense in terms of what are some of the dynamics you see imminently threatening tunisia and what are some of the ones you think we should be thinking about longterm given that porous border between libya and tunisia. You mean the problem, deterioration of living situation . Thats right.
The bus during washington journal starting at 9 45 a. M. Here. Next, a forum on security threats in regions of north africa.

My name is john hamre and im very pleased to have all of you join today for what is going to be a fascinating conversation. I was talking with our very distinguished speakers just as we were waiting for people to gather and said that, you know, in washington, north africa is kind of a blank spot, you know . There is so much in this region that we dont know and we tend to look at we tend to look at europe, we tend to look at africa, we tend to look at middle east, but we dont tend to look at the maghreb and think about it in a systematic, thoughtful way. Thats going to be the opportunity for today. Were going to hav
Is given turkey the capacity to take greater action both inside turkey and outside. The point that needs to be made, the first line of defense against foreign fighters entering syria isnt the turkish border. The first line occurs back in the homelands with everything they be within the coalition. This is preventive measures that are necessary but also the legal measures taken for accountability that must be closed as well. So foreign fighter, stopping before fire flow isnt what happens at the turkish border. It is what happens back in homeless make every effort possible to do with the issue of radicalization at the measures, legal measures taken to make it difficult to move from source countries to transit countries. You describe isis as being in pretty good financial shape the what did the u. S.

Facebook and twitter . We dont have a trusted flagger process in the same way. We do have arrangements with ctiu and similar organizations in governments. And we also have relationships with safety organizations.

Some of us have attended sessions in this very room on the role of messaging and counternarratives and i would be interested to know particularly as i listen to what angela had to say about how you would do this successfully, im interested to know whether and to what extent you think messaging and counternarratives can have some success in this process of keeping people from stepping over the edge. And then second, if its appropriate or if theres time, im interested to know how you evaluate the considerable work that the saudis do on this issue and how you evaluate that. Okay. So we have a question about the ethicacy of countermessaging and then about the saudis. Obviously there is a long tradition of deradicalization
