We are pleased to share that AFP has published a feature on our Executive Director, Yosuke Nagai, and Accept International’s work in Somalia, which has been published by global media outlets.
The article highlights our continued efforts to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of former members of Al-Shabaab, and our commitment to empowering them to rebuild their lives and become Agents of Peace. It also provides a closer look at the mindset that have driven Nagai’s work since he first began working to address the challenges facing Somalia at the age of 19.
We hope you will take a moment to learn more about the thinking behind our work and the realities we face on the ground in Somalia.
Our work extends beyond Somalia to other conflict-affected countries and regions including Yemen, Kenya, Colombia, and Indonesia, where we support young people who have been engaged in armed conflict to lay down their arms and choose a new path toward peace.
