RIYADH: The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition is implementing its strategic military initiative, “Competence,” in Libreville, Gabon.

The program includes intensive field training, tactical drills and live-fire exercises for special operations forces as part of the second phase of its military training effort, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.

This phase focuses on enhancing special forces’ capabilities to counter terrorist threats through practical exercises simulating real combat scenarios.

Training activities cover raids, maneuvering across varied terrains, responding to ambushes and hostage situations, and live-fire drills against moving and stationary targets.

The initiative is one of 15 strategic programs launched by the coalition to promote expertise transfer, knowledge exchange, and a unified training system that strengthens regional and international security.

Last month, the coalition hosted a seminar in the Maldives titled “Manifestations of Ideological Extremism in the Educational Environment,” as part of its prevention initiative focused on intellectual awareness.

The event aimed to strengthen intellectual resilience among educators and communities and prevent the spread of extremist and deviant ideas in educational settings.

It was part of the coalition’s broader efforts to bolster ideological prevention systems in member states by helping educators identify early signs of extremism, address its roots, and promote moderation and tolerance in schools and communities.
