25. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Aden Yusuf Salah, Director General in the Ministry of Security of Jubbaland State
“In this training we shared knowledge and experiences on how to observe and maintain security and prevent bad elements who bring insecurity in the community. Everyone wants to live in a peaceful and secure environment, with access to good education but there are people (extremists) who are against all these. They do not want the community to live and worship peacefully and to promote their religion,”

27. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sureer Mohamed Ali, Chairperson of Kismayo Women Organization
“I gained skills on how the police and the community can work together. This is a very useful [workshop], which we embrace and we are ready to support the security forces. Women are the mothers of the youth who are brainwashed by the extremists, and have the potential to lure them back. Every mother is required to advise her child and bring him back home and to the government. I appeal to the relevant authorities to conduct similar trainings that empower women so that they can win back their children [from the extremists].”

30. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Ugas Abdirahman Ugas Khalif, Somali Elder
“Today, we have learnt that if the members of the society are united and work together, they can fight radicalization in which children and other innocent people are brainwashed. We know the religion of Islam is a peaceful religion which accords everybody his right. They [extremists] advance their radicalization efforts using Islam as a cover up. Extremism has no place in Islam.”
