Combatting extremist organisations and armed groups in West Africa and the Sahel regions
In recent years, West Africa and the Sahel regions have witnessed an exponential surge in violent extremism and armed conflict, exacerbating issues such as poverty, population displacement, and food insecurity in the region. Violence perpetrated by extremist groups such as Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda, and the Islamic State have contributed to the rapidly deteriorating security landscape in the regions, destabilizing governments and causing widespread human suffering. Delegates in the UNGA at IISP MUN 2024 will address the threat posed by extremist organizations and other armed groups in West Africa and the Sahel regions, and discuss possible solutions to ensure future peace, stability, and development.

Not only has he been a member of EB and a delegate, but he has also been a member of the organizing committee for multiple MUNs.
