Center for Freedom in the Middle East

The Centre for Freedom in the Middle East (CFME) will serve as a home for a Coalition of political and advocacy groups, individuals and scholars from the Middle East striving to promote and uphold the pillars of freedom - religious freedom, civil liberties and human rights.

The members of CFME believe in the enormous potential of the region, the cradle of human civilization,  that can only be reached once it will overcome its deficits of freedom. Uniting  the disparate voices of faith, ethnicity, color and gender in the Middle East the CFME will promote a platform of values that enshrines endowed in men and woman.

 Changing leadership and the increasing calls for transparency, accountability and reforms place the people of the Middle East at a crossroad between radicalization and liberalism. The campaign for both sides of argument has already being launched and it is essential that  a coalition of liberal thinkers will find its vehicles to deliver its voice to the people of the region.

We further believe that this is a moment of opportunity that requires some joint  work of all freedom seeking forces in the Middle East to help build a united front against those in the region that are interested in turning back the clock.

The Reform Generation, consisting  70% of the population under the age of 30, is already marching in the streets of the capitals and on university campuses – although their voices are often silenced. The CFME seeks to empower these voices by providing a platform and a medium that will assist to deliver  this    message internally and abroad.
