A week-long social media campaign is being launched today by the Sawab Center to combat extremist ideologies.
The drive, with the hashtag #DaeshLies, has been organised by the UAE-US digital communications hub to promote positive alternatives.
The Center's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube platforms feature narrations by former members of Daesh.
They discuss how they travelled to fight in Iraq and Syria but became disillusioned.
Their stories are available in Arabic, English, and French.
International partners in the campaign include the Global Coalition to Defeat Daesh’s Communications Cell, the Central Council of German Muslims, and Al Azhar.
Since its launch in July 2015, the Sawab Center has encouraged governments, communities, and individual voices to engage proactively to counteract online extremism and promote positive alternate narratives.
تدعي #داعش حماية الأخلاق والعدالة والقيم، ولكن أفعالها تناقض أقوالها. نكشف #أكاذيب_داعش خلال حملتنا القادمة (من 23 إلى 30 نوفمبر 2020) ونشارككم شهادات على لسان أعضاء سابقين وأخرى من أناس عايشوها، لنرفع الستار عن الحجج والوعود الكاذبة التي استخدمت لجذب أصحاب العقول الهشة pic.twitter.com/pLckc8a9TT
