At the start of the seminar, Dr. Samir Boudinar stated that the book Peace in Africa: Studies and Visions for Enhancing Stability and Development, published by the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, is the result of a research project focused on Muslim communities and peace in Africa. It reflects the Muslim Council of Elders’ strong commitment to civil and societal peace, conflict resolution, and the consolidation of sustainable peace. He noted that Dr. Adel Moussaoui was one of the contributors to this collective volume and presented a significant scholarly contribution based on his extensive academic and research expertise.
Dr. Boudinar further explained that the book is a valuable addition to the field of African studies, addressing new aspects within this body of knowledge, not only through the broad range of topics and approaches it covers, but also through the creative and innovative methodologies it employs.
For his part, Dr. Adel Moussaoui said that the book falls within the domain of African studies and represents the product of collective work carried out under the African Studies Program at the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, affiliated with the Muslim Council of Elders. It is part of a broader regional studies initiative launched by the center.
