CEP Webinar: Is Aid Diversion a Major Problem in Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia?

(New York, N.Y.)  The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) invites you to a webinar on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, to discuss the problem of aid diversion in Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia. 

Speakers will consider CEP’s previous report, “Houthi Diversion of Humanitarian Assistance in Yemen,” and how its analysis of aid delivery in Yemen compares with forthcoming reports of aid diversion in Afghanistan and Somalia. The discussion will examine which actors in these countries are disrupting and diverting aid delivery, how they do so, and why the problem remains poorly documented.

Speakers will consider what donor countries ought to do in order to address this ubiquitous and insidious problem, and what steps might be taken if the issues at hand cannot be resolved.

The webinar will be conducted in English via Zoom.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
