Omar al-Bashir was speaking exclusively to euronews in the week that ISIL released a video purporting to show the execution of 21 Egyptian citizens – an act that spurred Egypt into launching airstrikes against ISIL targets in neighbouring Libya.
He warned that simply using violence against young radicals who fight with organisations like ISIL and al-Qaeda could lead to even more extremism.
“Our policy has been largely succesful, after we arrest these young people we bring a group of young scholars to engage in dialogue with them about their thoughts, and we succeed to bring a lot of them back from their radical ideas”.
Omar al-Bashir said that America’s CIA and Israel’s Mossad are behind group Boko Haram and ISIL.
“I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations. There is no Muslim who would carry out such acts.”
The full interview will be broadcast on The Global Conversation on euronews tomorrow, Wednesday (February 17). Read more at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3dc_1424156420#P1PjJzpQXeWby9ID.99
