Sources: 12. Developments: 2. The Muslim World League (MWL) initiated a series of security and peace-building activities in Nigeria and West Africa. The process began with an international security conference in Abuja, organized alongside the Saudi Arabian government and Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS). The summit, themed ‘International Conference on Security for Sustainable Socio-Economic Development,’ sought to address Nigeria’s security challenges, including terrorism, kidnapping, and banditry, while fostering dialogue between different faith groups. Following the conference, the MWL launched a social peace initiative for the West African region. This development included the unanimous adoption of the ‘Abuja Declaration’ by regional religious leaders. The declaration establishes a joint action plan involving civil society, religious leaders, and government institutions to protect social cohesion. To ensure progress, a coordinating body of religious and civil leaders will be formed to monitor the implementation of the plan and address social instability and extremist ideologies through programs linked to the Charter of Makkah. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: Muslim World League launches social peace initiative in West Africa The Muslim World League has launched a West African social peace initiative and the ‘Abuja Declaration’ to promote religious coexistence and prevent conflict through a joint action plan. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/muslim-world-league-launches-social-peace-initiative-in-west-africa ### 2026-08-10: Muslim World League holds international security conference in Abuja The Muslim World League and JIBWIS Nigeria are hosting an international security conference in Abuja to discuss national unity, religious coexistence, and the link between security and socio-economic growth. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/muslim-world-league-holds-international-security-conference-in-abuja --- Cite as: Muslim World League peace initiatives in West Africa.
