The Need to Tackle Iran's Reactionary Ideology in Africa
(Al Arabiya) Heshmat Alavi - Iran is spending billions to export its reactionary ideology among Africa's vast Muslim community, providing free social services through a network of hospitals and orphanages, running more than 100 Islamic schools and seminaries, and giving bribes and "financial aid" to corrupt governments. Al Mustafa University, under the direct supervision of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has branches in 17 African countries, with more than 6,000 African clerical students studying in Africa and inside Iran. Some of these students, along with their families, enjoy free education, health insurance and financial support. The children of these students go to special schools to learn the Iranian regime's reactionary ideology at an early stage.
