I think that this program aimed at giving jobs to these former rebels is the best way to fight extremism of any kind. Many join these rebel groups out of financial necessity (and not so much ideology) and providing them a better option for money is a better option than using a gun to kill them (which then breeds more hatred towards the government from surviving family members....thus completing the circle of violence).
The West should take note of these programs. (I know they have tried before but the ones I knew of were just half baked, unsustainable ideas.)
