    Regional peacekeeping groups may provide an alternative to UN or NATO peacekeeping operations. While highly capable forces from countries like the US and NATO allies have struggled to suppress extremist groups, regional organizations with local knowledge may have more success. However, regional groups also face challenges, as they could be accused of bias towards certain members or lack capabilities for complex missions. Overall, regional peacekeeping could be an option but requires addressing issues of impartiality and capacity.

    allows us to fight terrorists? ”
