Muslim Impact Forum: New group launches with high-profile backing

A new organization, the Muslim Impact Forum (MIF), has launched in London with support from former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf. The group aims to help British Muslims enter politics and connect Muslim leadership and resources to address global challenges. Yousaf emphasized the goal is to push good people into positions of power and expressed his own desire to work on international conflict resolution, citing the war in Gaza as an example. The MIF has global ambitions, having previously held a meeting in Turkey, and its launch is framed in the context of responding to the rise of the far-right in Europe.
