Yesterday, ARCHER at House 88 was represented by its Director, Jacek Purski, in a panel discussion following a screening of That Boy: A Conversation about Hate and Healing at the Museum of Remembrance of the Inhabitants of the Oświęcim Land. The powerful documentary brings together Toby Górniak MBE, a Roma activist and former refugee who experienced neo-Nazi violence, and Mirek, a former neo-Nazi, in a deeply personal conversation about hatred, radicalization, transformation, and reconciliation. The discussion, featuring Toby Górniak MBE, Michał Zajda, and Jacek Purski, explored the roots of extremism, the consequences of hate-driven violence, and the role of education, dialogue, and restorative justice in preventing radicalization. At ARCHER at House 88, we believe that understanding how hatred develops — and how individuals can break away from extremist ideologies — is essential to preventing future violence. We thank the Roma History and Culture Center in Oświęcim for organizing this important event and Toby Górniak for sharing his powerful story. @jacekpurski @TobyGorniakMBE

Following the death of a 27-year-old German man after a violent confrontation in Tuggen, Switzerland on October 18, 2026, Swiss media reported that the 42-year-old suspect is a long-standing member of the neo-Nazi network Blood & Honour. Yesterday, CEP´s Alexander Ritzmann provided Swiss public broadcaster SRF with background on the network’s history, activities, and links to violence in Switzerland and across Europe. He also highlighted Blood & Honour’s concerts, recruitment activities, and documented cooperation with Swiss Active Clubs, including joint combat-sports training. The investigation into the fatal incident is ongoing. @alexRitzmann via @srfnews Full interview👇 srf.ch/play/tv/10-vor-10/vid…

Germany is "not only a target, but also, in a sense, an operational base and retreat for some parts of these networks...Russia considers the entire European Union its operational area."

Extreme right international networks “facilitate the exchange of ideas” and foster “more capable local extremist networks.” “For Scotland, the important question is whether Caledonia Club is developing its organisational capabilities and connections within this wider transnational network.” @alexRitzmann via @FerretScot on a Scots neo-Nazi fight club's hosting of a Canadian far right activist. theferret.scot/scottish-neo-…

1/5 What did Europe actually learn from Ceuta? The EU response has strengthened border control, surveillance, screening and reinforcement. But those measures do not resolve every counterterrorism vulnerability exposed by the crisis. A thread on our new report by @JunFGG 🧵

4/5 Third: greater European capacity does not mean security independence. The EU can strengthen surveillance, screening and reinforcement. It cannot fully reproduce third-country intelligence, territorial access or investigative authority. The goal should be selective de-risking.

5/5 The answer is not a new CT regime for migration emergencies. It is a more shock-adaptive system: preserve CT discrimination, reinforce earlier, protect shared processing capacity, and stress-test non-substitutable external dependencies. Read the report 👇 counterextremism.com/sites/d…

AQ global leader Sayf al-Adl is based in Tehran and collaborating with the Iranian authorities. They brought about a truce between AQAP and the #Houthis as well as an alliance between the Houthis and AQ’s Somali affiliate Al-Shabab. So expect coordinated attacks on Yemeni forces.
Coincidence or orchestrated? AQAP expert @MohamedBinFisal reports clashes between Al-Qaeda militants and Yemeni government forces in the Khawrah area of Shabwah governorate, with reports of fatalities. The fighting comes as Houthi forces intensify their military offensive against the governorate.
