(MENAFN) The Israeli Bureau of Statistics reported on Monday a notable increase in the country's unemployment rate, reaching approximately 10 percent in October. This surge is attributed to the conflict with the Palestinian Hamas movement, which led to the displacement of tens of thousands of citizens residing near the Gaza envelope.
While the headline unemployment rate remained stable at 3.4 percent last month, considering the anticipated temporary job losses, the rate rose to 9.6 percent in October. This translated to 428,400 people unemployed, a significant jump from the 163,600 reported in September, just before the October 7 attack when Hamas militants overran Israeli border towns.
The aftermath of the attack prompted the mobilization of nearly 400,000 Israelis to reserve duty. Official data indicates that around 80,000 Israelis have been placed on unpaid leave in the weeks following the conflict. Consequently, the employment rate in October experienced a decline from 61.1 percent to 56.5 percent.
The Israeli Census Bureau acknowledged the need to make adjustments to the labor force survey conducted last month due to the war's impact. Interviews were nearly nonexistent in the week following the attack, and subsequent interviews were conducted by telephone rather than in person. Additionally, communities within 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) of the Gaza Strip were not surveyed, resulting in a decreased response rate from 66.9 percent in September to 55.3 percent.
While Israel has historically maintained a low unemployment rate, this recent spike poses economic challenges. With many individuals on furlough or losing their jobs, expectations point towards a contraction in the Israeli economy in the fourth quarter, potentially impacting the growth forecast for 2023, which is now expected to be around 2.3 percent. The International Monetary Fund's latest report had initially projected a growth rate of about 3.1 percent for the Israeli economy in 2023.

The buildings housing the members of the Swiss Guard date back to the 19th century. Keystone/Fabio Frustaci

Fundos para renovação do quartel da Guarda Suíça falham em ganhar a maioria
Official resultsExternal link show 71.5% of voters on Sunday coming out against the funding.
The anti-clerical Freethinkers Association as well as mainly left-wing political parties forced a referendum challenging the CHF400,000 ($407,530) contribution agreed by the cantonal parliament.
The funding was to feed into a project launched by a Swiss foundationExternal link to modernise three 19th century buildings housing Swiss Guard members, as well as their administrative headquarters in Rome.
It is funded by private and public donations, including from the Swiss government, the Vatican, and – though not without controversay, as in the case of Lucerne – Swiss cantons.
The renovation costs are estimated at CHF50 million and work is likely to begin in 2026.
The barracks, which date back to 1825, do not meet the current requirements of the troops, nor do they comply with modern building regulations, according to the foundation.
Around 110 Swiss guards are stationed at the Vatican in Rome, but the number is set to increase to 135. The soldiers have acted as a security force and a guard unit to protect the Pope within the territory of the Vatican City since 1506.
Earlier this year, Switzerland upgraded its diplomatic links with the Holy See by inaugurating an embassy at the Vatican.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Dec 5 (KUNA) -- The Arab League Council, on the level of permanent delegates, has surged the US Administration to commit itself to all the UN resolutions on Jerusalem.
A statement issued by the council's meeting in Cairo on Tuesday reiterated the UN Security Council's resolutions 252/1968, 267/1969, 465/1980, 476/1980, 478/1980, and 2334/ 2016, as well as the principles of the International Law that consider Israel's laws and measures seeking to alter the historical and legal status of the East Jerusalem, its sanctities, identity or demographic structure, as "null and void." These resolutions and principles urge establishing no diplomatic missions, no transfer of embassies to East Jerusalem, nor recognizing it as capital of Israel, the statement stressed. They hold East Jerusalem integral to the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967.
The league urged the US to maintain its positive, neutral, fair and constructive role to achieve comprehensive and everlasting peace in the Middle East, in line with the resolutions of the international legitimacy, the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002, and the two-state and the land for peace principles.
The League considered any recognition of Jerusalem as capital of occupant Israel, establishing any diplomatic mission in the city, or moving an embassy to it, an "explicit aggression" on the Arab nation and on the rights of the Palestinian people, as well as on all Muslims and Christians.
Any of such acts will also constitute a grave violation of the International Law, Geneva Convention IV, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion, July 2004. An illegal recognition is likely to form a grave threat to peace, security and stability in the region, undermining the two-state solution, besides increasing extremism and violence.
In the meantime, today's meeting tasked the Arab group in New York to explore the effective means to stand against any such steps through the UN agencies, including the Security Council. (pick up previous mfm.rg.tma.msa

French satellite company Eutelsat on Wednesday halted European broadcasts of Russian channel NTV Mir after regulators flagged content it had aired comparing Ukrainians to Nazis.
Media regulator Arcom asked for the Russian channel to be blocked because it had repeatedly portrayed not only Ukraine's leaders but also its population as adhering to Nazi ideology.
Eutelsat has already taken down several Russian channels after requests from the European Union and individual countries dismayed at the dissemination of what they regard as pro-Kremlin propaganda since the February 24 invasion of Ukraine.
NTV Mir's parent company was sanctioned by the United States in May, the White House labelling it state-owned and alleging its revenue from overseas advertising was fed back to the Kremlin.
The French regulator said on its website that the channel "tends to repeatedly portray not only the Ukrainian leadership and the Ukrainian army, but also and above all the Ukrainian population, as adhering to the Nazi ideology of the Third Reich".
Arcom cited a broadcast on 24 April that characterised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "a comedian in the role of Hitler who ordered a missile to be fired at women and children".
Eutelsat carries the NTV Mir in Europe but when asked by AFP could not confirm which countries would be affected by the ban.
Arcom said it was possible that NTV Mir could still be picked up on other non-European satellites with more limited coverage on the continent.
Since the Russian invasion, Eutelsat has halted broadcasts of news channel RT in several countries as well as two other Russian state broadcasters, Russia 24 and RTR Planeta.

Gerald Thompson, a news editor for AFS. announced this morning that the particularly entrepreneurial provider of sea moss gel supplement products has been named the best in their class based upon consumer reviews and research conducted by the independent Australian Food Standards Board.

Agra, Nov 17 (IANS) In a late night operation, Wildlife SOS rescued a nearly 4-feet-long Mugger crocodile after it was spotted near Kondra village in Uttar Pradesh's Firozabad district.
The crocodile was later released into its natural habitat in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Forest Department officials.
On Wednesday night, the Mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris) was sighted in an artificial water hole, following which the villagers informed the conservation organisation.
Equipped with rescue gear, the organisation's Rapid Response Unit travelled over 60 km to reach the location. The team carefully extricated the crocodile, which was found to be healthy.
Kartick Satyanarayan, Co-founder and CEO, Wildlife SOS said, 'We have rescued crocodiles from the Firozabad district in the past. As a result, people are aware of their presence. However, spotting a crocodile in the middle of the night can catch anyone off-guard.
'We aim to reduce conflict by making people aware of the reasons which force crocodiles to venture into man-made habitats, and by helping them understand the behaviour of these reptiles. These steps are indispensable to avoid any sort of human-crocodile conflict,' he added.
Baiju Raj M.V., Director- Conservation Projects, said, 'We are happy to assist the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department in this case and relocate the crocodile to a suitable habitat.'
The Mugger crocodile is also known as the Marsh crocodile and has the broadest snout of all the crocodiles found on the planet. The reptile is native to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and parts of Iran.

Former Bank Of Canada Executive Sees 70% Chance Of A Soft Landing
Former Bank of Canada Executive Sees 70% Chance Of A Soft Landing
Paul Beaudry, a former deputy governor at the Bank of Canada, says there's a 70% chance that the economy will slow without tipping into a recession over the next year.
Beaudry said that the Bank of Canada's aggressive interest rate hikes have effectively slowed the economy, making a so called“soft landing” possible though not guaranteed.
“I would only say there's a 60% to 70% chance of a soft landing, but there's still 30% of it going the other way,” said Beaudry in a media interview. He left Canada's central bank in July of this year.
Canada's annualized inflation rate rose 4% in August from a year earlier mainly due to rising oil and natural gas prices.
Beaudry said that persistently high inflation could require the Bank of Canada to further raise interest rates in coming months.
In addition to higher gasoline prices, Canadians are also struggling with higher interest rates charged on home mortgages, which have pushed up monthly payments.
Beaudry concluded that it will take time for previous interest rate hikes to work their way through Canada's economy.

Bogotá: Colombia said an 'object' had overflown its territory after Washington warned that a suspected Chinese spy balloon similar to the one shot down off the US coast had been spotted over Latin America.
Colombia's Air Force said the object with 'characteristics similar to those of a balloon' was detected on Friday and 'monitored until it left the national air space.'
The object flew at an altitude of 55,000 feet (17,000 meters) and an average speed of 25 knots (29 miles per hour, 46 kilometers per hour), said an air force statement on Saturday, adding it 'did not constitute a threat to national security and defense or to aviation security.' Read Also

The air force said it was conducting investigations in coordination with other countries and institutions 'to establish the origins of the object.'
A US fighter jet on Saturday shot down what it said was a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina, denouncing an 'unacceptable violation.'
The craft spent several days flying over North America, ratcheting up tensions between Washington and Beijing, which said it was a weather balloon blown off course.
Another suspected Chinese spy balloon was seen over Latin America, the Pentagon said on Friday, without providing details.
No other Latin American country has reported spotting the craft, while Venezuela on Sunday lashed out against 'the attack by the United States against a civilian unmanned aircraft of Chinese origin.'
Caracas, under US sanctions, said in a statement: 'The United States once again resorts to the use of force rather than treating this situation with the seriousness and responsibility it merits.'

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Ukraine has sent humanitarian aid to Lithuania for security purposes, which will help strengthen the protection of its borders from illegal migrants, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine has reported.
"More than 38 tonnes of humanitarian cargo left Ukraine for Lithuania today, August 12. This is the first stage of assistance out of three, which Ukraine sends in accordance with a decree of President Volodymyr Zelensky and an order of the Cabinet of Ministers," the report reads.
The assistance will help strengthen the protection of Lithuania's borders from illegal migrants.
"The cargo is accompanied by a group of employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, who must hand it over to the representatives of the State Border Guard Service at the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania," the report reads.
In late May, Alexander Lukashenko stated that Minsk would no longer detain illegal immigrants trying to enter the European Union through Belarus. In early July, Vilnius declared a nationwide state of emergency in the country. Lithuania was the first country to accuse Minsk of "hybrid aggression."
According to the Lithuanian Interior Ministry, more than 4,000 migrants have illegally crossed the border with Belarus since the beginning of 2021. This is several times more than in 2020. The migrants include many citizens of Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Flights from Iraq to Minsk were suspended in early August.
Lithuanian border guards were then given the authority not to allow illegal migrants across the border in unauthorized places, including by using force.

The city airport on Saturday conducted a mock drill along with multiple internal and external holders to assess its security preparedness at the facility, according to a statement.
As part of this, the private airport operator carried out a full-scale bomb threat drill for about 1.35 hours from 1.02 pm on Saturday without causing any inconvenience to passengers or any impact on the facility's operations, it said.
The mock drill was conducted at terminal-2 (T2) wherein the airport received an intimation about a bomb threat during the afternoon hours. Conducted as a surprise drill, it tested not only the airport's disaster response system, but also its calm coordination to avert the crisis, the airport operator said.
The airport organises emergency mock drills on a time-to-time basis to assess the alertness, efficiency and preparedness of the airport staff.
Simulated exercise is also a part of the efforts to improve the safety measures which are highly critical in cases of a threat to the life of passengers and employees.
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization and DGCA regulations, all airports and airlines globally are required to conduct a full-scale aerodrome emergency exercise once every two years.
The mock-drill is a very important exercise to keep our disaster management systems updated and on point. With the airport looking at digital transformations of a whole new level, we expect to bring down our response times even further, said a Mumbai Airport spokesperson.

Turkey said the first shipment of grain had left the Odessa port as Ukraine said it was a ‘relief for the world’.
Grain deal between Russia and Ukraine
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s government had helped broker the grain deal between Russia and Ukraine. It happened after months of wrangling with wheat and other grain products being stranded in Ukraine’s Black Sea port due to the war. Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship Razoni finally set to sail.
Turkey said a ship left Odessa for Lebanon and will reach Istanbul on Tuesday. According to Ukraine authorities, the ship is carrying 26,000 tonnes of corn. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres who was present during the grain deal welcomed the move. He stated, that he hopes that it would be the“first of many commercial ships” to help the world recover from the global food security crisis.
16 additional ships are waiting their turn to leave the port: Ukrainian Ministry
Ukraine had said 20 thousand tonnes of grain worth $10 billion was piled up in Black Sea ports amid Russia’s blockade of the sea. President Volodymyr Zelensky had put the onus on the UN to ensure grain safety as Russia hit the Odessa port with a missile after concluding the deal angering Kyiv.
Ukraine had said the grain would be uploaded on several ships as President Zelensky himself is taking care of the operations. Moreover, Russia has continued to target Ukrainian cities despite the grain deal with heavy bombing. The incidents of bombing have been reported in Kherson and other areas in the east and south. Ukraine’s President over the weekend had urged civilians to leave the Donetsk region as Russian forces made gains in the area.
Equally important, it was since late February that shipments from Ukraine have been blocked from leaving the country’s ports by Russia. Being one of the world’s biggest grain producers, the blockade sparked fears of a global food crisis as prices shot up.

The level of difficulty should not be a barrier to meeting the challenge of putting humans on Mars, because our technological advances are very close to making it possible, argues Pierre Brisson of the Mars Society Switzerland.
This content was published on April 7, 2021 - 15:11 April 7, 2021 - 15:11 Pierre Brisson, Mars Society Switzerland See in another language: 1
Demain l'homme vivra sur Mars
Can humans handle a trip to Mars?
Trips to Mars are certainly not routine, but to say that a very high percentage are failures is meaningless. You cannot put the first flights and the most recent ones into the same calculation, nor can you compare the tests of those who obviously have not mastered the technology to those who have, such as the United States. Since 2001, their Mars missions have seen 11 successes and no failures. This is the basis on which the future must be considered.
If we assume that Elon Musk's spacecraft will be available, a human landing on Mars will involve less uncertainty than for a robotic mission, because there will be people and fuel reserves on board. Humans will be able to intervene in the event of unforeseen difficulties and the reserves will make it possible to extend the flight. The landing site for this first mission will naturally have to be chosen very carefully.

(MENAFN- IANS) Kolkata, Sep 16 (IANS) The University Grants Commission (UGC) has sought fresh clarification from the Jadavpur University to the non-adherence to nine points of anti-ragging norms as set by the commission.
In a communique on Monday evening, the UGC asked the JU to reply to the clarification sought within the next 15 days, university insiders said.
The commission has also sought clarification on the steps taken by the university authorities so far to implement the commission-set anti-ragging norms amid the recent ragging-related death of a fresher at the JU student's hostel on August 10.
“In the last letter, the UGC has also given certain suggestions on what should be done to prevent the event of ragging within the university campus. The matter is supposed to be discussed in detail at the meeting of the working committee of the university on Tuesday,” said a JU insider.
It is learnt that the latest communique from the UGC was based on the findings of a four-member team of the commission who visited the JU campus at the beginning of this month to review the situation.
However, the JU insiders admitted that divergent opinions among the different stakeholders are the principal hurdles in strictly adhering to the anti-ragging norms of the commission within the university campus.
“Especially the initiative of the university authorities to induct retired defense personnel in the internal security team of JU has faced resistance from a section of the students' unions. Although the work for installation of 29 artificial intelligence-enabled CCTV cameras have started finally, it happened after lots of altercations on the spots where these machines would be installed,” he said.

Srinagar- Asia's and India's richest billionaire- Gautam Adani's fortune fell sharply on Friday and his ranking in the global rich list came down to the seventh spot following a rout in the Adani Group stocks post Hindenburg's report.
According to Forbes World's Real Time Billionaires List, Adani's wealth fell by USD 22.6 billion on Friday, taking him to the 7th spot on the list.
Hindenburg on Wednesday had alleged group companies to be involved in stock manipulation, money laundering and accounting fraud.

The General Secretariat reaffirmed the organization's position as stated in the resolution adopted by the Council of Foreign Ministers of the OIC at its 18th special session held on July 31, 2023, dedicated to the incidents of repeated desecration of copies of the Holy Quran, as the Council condemned in its decision all attempts aimed at undermining the sanctity of the Holy Quran and other holy books and the values and symbols of Islam and other religions under the guise of freedom of expression, which contradicts the spirit of Articles (19) and (20) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The General Secretariat of the OIC called on the Dutch authorities to take the necessary measures against these provocative acts, which constitute acts of religious hatred, in violation of international law, and to work to prevent their recurrence.

Wall Street Prices In More Rate Hikes By The U.S. Federal Reserve
Traders on Wall Street have now fully priced in quarter-point interest rate increases at each of the U.S. Federal Reserve's next two policy meetings.
U.S. markets have also priced in a 70% chance of a third interest rate increase in June of this year.
Expectations are that the terminal rate, which is the point at which interest rates peak, will be at 5.31% by this July.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 22
By Ali Mustafayev – Trend:
The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) and Bogatyr Komir company signed a loan agreement to finance Bogatyr Komir's investment program aimed at modernizing coal production processes at the Bogatyr mine, the press service of EDB said in a message.
The document was signed by Andrey Beliyaninov, Chairman of the Management Board, from the EDB, and Murat Abdygulov, General Director, and Nikolay Korsakov, First Deputy General Director and CFO, from Bogatyr Komir.
The EDB will extend a loan facility of 196.6 million euro for eleven years. The loan will be used to finance an investment project to modernize production at the Bogatyr mine by introducing continuous mining technology.
This is expected to raise the output to 50 million tons, improve the quality of end products, cut mining costs, and reduce adverse environmental impacts. A part of end products will be exported to Russia.
'The project supports the development of the country's power sector,' said Andrey Beliyaninov, Chairman of the Management Board at the EDB.
'It is also important to the EDB that it has a significant integration effect. In particular, it will help to enhance the efficiency of coal mining, maintain output for a longer period of time, and promote trade between Russia and Kazakhstan,' he said.
The EDB's new loan agreement with Bogatyr Komir, one of Kazakhstan's largest coal miners and the main employer in Pavlodar Region for over 6,000 people, is the third one, in addition to the loan facilities opened in December 2011 and November 2013. Back then, the Bank extended some $50 million and $25 million for seven years, respectively.
Over the first ten years from its start, the project is expected to raise coal output by an average of $75 million a year and increase mutual trade between the EDB countries as a result of coal exports by $27 million a year on average. It will also help to minimize adverse environmental impact, as extracted coal will be stored within the mines.

I seek to highlight the problematic expectations commonly held of leaders and leadership, showing how these often entail expectations of perfection and omnipotence as well as an undervaluing of those not in leadership roles. Arising from such critique I aim to develop new ways of conceptualizing and practicing leadership, in which the vital influence of context is also acknowledged.

(MENAFN) In a report unveiled on Wednesday, UNICEF revealed that 69 million children, equivalent to more than one in five, are living in poverty across the world's 40 wealthiest nations.
The report criticized Britain and France for their notably poor standings in this regard. This statistic persists despite a decrease in child poverty rates observed in the periods from 2012 to 2014 and 2019 to 2021, with an approximately 8 percent decline in the 40 European Union and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) affluent countries that were assessed.
“This is equivalent to around 6 million children out of a total child population of 291 million,” As stated by UNICEF Innocenti, the research arm of the United Nations agency.
However, by the conclusion of 2021, the number of children living in poverty in those countries still exceeded 69 million.
“For most children this means that they may grow up without enough nutritious food, clothes, school supplies or a warm place to call home,” declared Bo Viktor Nylund of UNICEF Innocenti, emphasizing the repercussions of these challenges on the physical and mental well-being of young individuals.
The UNICEF figure relies on relative poverty, defined as approximately 60 percent of the national median income, commonly utilized in developed nations to determine their poverty thresholds.
In its report, UNICEF urged for proactive measures to safeguard children's well-being and emphasized the need for political determination among the surveyed countries. The report highlighted that a nation's wealth alone does not inherently alleviate children from poverty, underscoring the necessity for deliberate action despite a country's economic status.

(MENAFN- Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)) Rio de Janeiro – At the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting that is taking place on Wednesday and Thursday (21 and 22) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has made the reform and strengthening of the United Nations a top priority. Diplomat Mauricio Lyrio (pictured), Brazil's G20 sherpa, told reporters on Tuesday (20) that upgrading global governance and mechanisms for peacebuilding is urgent.
“We're putting out fires. With 183 conflicts around the world, this is such a catastrophic situation from the perspective of human rights that the action has to be structural,” he said.“The idea is to have an effective reform of the U.N., so that it can actually be an efficient instrument to prevent conflicts from occurring.”
“Some countries advocate the reform of the Security Council, while others favor empowering the General Assembly or the Economic and Social Council. Brazil has always been open to an overall reform. The U.N. has to become more representative and upgraded to keep up with the contemporary needs,” he added.
Brazil is presiding the G20 group from December 1, 2023, to November 30, 2024. Some 130 meetings are expected to take place in the countries, the most important being the annual leaders' summit scheduled for November 18 and 19 in Rio.
The meetings on Wednesday and Thursday will be attended by representatives of all members of the group: South Africa, Germany, Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United States, and well as the European Union and the African Union. Brazil has invited other countries and entities to participate, too, including Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, discussions throughout the year will revolve around three priorities: social inclusion and fight against hunger and poverty; promotion of sustainable social, economic and environmental development; and the reform of global governance institutions.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The explosion at the Kakhovka HPP has caused the flooding of the positions of Russian military units and may wash out Russian minefields and trigger their chaotic detonation.
"Positions of Russian military units have been flooded, which may lead to large-scale washing out of Russian minefields and their detonation in a chaotic manner," Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hanna Maliar posted on telegram .
According to her, the Russian terrorist army has committed another crime capable of causing a serious ecological and humanitarian disaster. The Russian occupiers purposefully blew up the dam to stop the process of de-occupation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and shift the vector of public attention from the events taking place in Russia's Belgorod region. Instead, the Russian occupiers had the opposite effect.
The deputy minister also noted that civilians in the temporarily occupied settlements of Kherson region and Crimea are currently in a critical situation as the destruction of the dam deprived them of fresh water.
As reported, Russian troops blew up the Kakhovka HPP on June 6. The plant was completely destroyed as an engine room was blown up from the inside. There are flood risks for energy facilities in Kherson region, in particular the Kherson thermal power station. Evacuation of the population from potential flooding areas has begun.
The joint statement by EU High Representative Josep Borrell and Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič says that the commanders of Russian units and the direct perpetrators of the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP dam, as well as those responsible for the destruction of other civilian infrastructure objects in Ukraine, will be held accountable in line with international law.

(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) Islamic State fighters have set a training camp in the village of Osve, northern Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to media reports. Moreover, they reportedly try to play on the high level of youth unemployment in the country to recruit new militants.The Balkan region is known for its multi-ethnic composition and tensions between ethnic groups residing in the country. Bosnia saw major clashes between Bosnians (Muslim), Serbs (Orthodox) and Croats (Catholic) during the country's civil war in 1992-1995.
"A fine delicate balance in Bosnia can be tipped and there is a lot of residual anger that is pent up in the region, and the last thing it needs is an ISIS-related incident to kick off in the region," Fiyaz Mughal, founder and director of Faith Matters, which aims to reduce extremism and intra-faith tensions, told Sputnik.
Mughal explained that any external religious influence in the region could have catastrophic consequences, as there has been little or no reconciliation between ethnic groups.
Moreover, radical Islam may worsen tensions in Bosnia "due to the fact that during the Bosnia war in 1992-1995, many fighters from Afghanistan and other war zones came to Bosnia and their ideological seed may have implanted," Mughal explained.
According to the findings of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College, since the beginning of the year, more than 300 Bosnians have joined Sunni militant organizations in Syria and Iraq.
Some 40 percent of the Bosnian population are Muslim, around 30 percent are Orthodox and some 15 percent - Catholic.
