Excerpt:
The government is strengthening its efforts to tackle extremism and radicalisation following an evaluation of its current initiatives.
The Social Affairs Ministry said in a press release that the evaluation demonstrated that current initiatives have made an impact, but that they need to be built upon.
The ministry now wants to find new strategies to tackle the online recruitment by extremists, extract young people who do join extreme communities, and prevent young people from heading into armed conflict abroad – so-called foreign fighters – in countries such as Syria.
