Alberto Miguel Fernandez

Alberto Miguel Fernandez is the Vice President of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., that focuses on research and analysis of media from the Middle East and South Asia. A former U.S. diplomat, Fernandez has been vocal about global terrorism and the threats posed by jihadist groups, particularly in relation to their impact on Christian communities in Africa. He has recently drawn attention to the brutal attacks being carried out by ISIS-aligned soldiers in Mozambique, where they are targeting Christian villages, an issue he describes as a 'silent genocide' that is often overlooked by the international community.
