Islamic coalition fighting terrorism hosts Ethiopian officials in Riyadh

Maj. Gen. Mohammed Al-Moghedi, the secretary-general of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, received Maj. Gen. Seid Tikuye, the Ethiopian military attache in Saudi Arabia, and his accompanying delegation in Riyadh on Monday.

The delegation was briefed on the coalition’s key activities and its approach to combating terrorism, which focuses on four main areas: intellectual, the media, counter-terrorism financing, and military.

The officials looked at the coalition’s publications, studies, and research related to these areas. They went on to visit the situation assessment room — responsible for monitoring, analysis, and follow-up operations — and examined the terrorism measurement indicators used to investigate terrorist events and groups worldwide.

The visiting delegation praised the professional techniques and methodologies used to assess the dimensions and strategies of extremist groups, as well as the coalition’s efforts in serving member states and coordinating efforts.

Al-Moghedi thanked the delegation and praised Ethiopia’s significant efforts in its fight against terrorism.

He expressed hope that Ethiopia would join the coalition and work alongside member states in combating terrorism and extremism.
