Program to combat terrorist financing ends

RIYADH: The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition has concluded its advanced training program in Nairobi, Kenya, which was focused on combating terrorist financing and money laundering.

The five-day program was part of the Saudi-backed coalition’s capacity-building initiative, aimed at strengthening member states’ capabilities to combat financial crimes linked to terrorism.

The closing ceremony was attended by Maj. Gen. Mohamed Nour Hassan, Kenya’s deputy army commander, and several civilian and military officials, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The program brought together specialists from the banking, financial, and security sectors, including financial compliance officers, investigators, and professionals combating money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as representatives from regulatory and supervisory authorities. It combined theoretical knowledge with practical exercises.

Sessions addressed international legislation frameworks, emerging methods of terrorist financing, money-laundering mechanisms, and the use of digital technologies for monitoring and analysis.

The program also covered leadership skills and corporate compliance management, supported by case studies and exercises to enhance participants’ ability to trace suspicious financial flows and analyze complex patterns.

The coalition said that the program reflected its commitment to helping member states build effective national systems to combat terrorist financing and financial crimes, enhance coordination with regional and international partners, and improve specialist efficiency.

These efforts contribute to integrated responses that keep pace with evolving challenges and support security and stability at national and international levels.
