Mohamed Ali

The Mohamed Ali speeches address ways innovation and entrepreneurship can help Somalia and issues there like piracy, poverty and terrorism. The executive director of the Iftiin Foundation is dedicated to building the capacity of young African leaders. The human rights, legal and advocacy expert has spent the past decade advocated for the human rights of refugees. He is particularly interested in the legal rights of immigrants and refugees from Somalia after escaping the civil war-torn Mogadishu as a child.

The speaker is also the founder of the End Famine campaign. In addition to holding youth leadership conferences in Somalia, the peace strategist is also working with the State Department to launch an online media initiative intended to propel the entrepreneurship of African youth. The Mohamed Ali speeches position innovation as a key ingredient for youth in the failed state to break the cycle of poverty and corruption.
