When experts from different backgrounds come together you are guaranteed an interesting and insightful discussion. This is exactly what the audience was treated to at the second event of the Security Days 2024 when Dounia Rhouma, Mustafa Nasar and Dr. Andreas Böhm came together on a panel moderated by Lukas Zumbrunn. Covering a wide range of topics, as can be expected when discussing the MENA region, our panelists highlighted and analyzed key developments in past and present, and spoke about what the future could hold.
