Yahya Qanie

Yahya is a social entrepreneur and policy advocate working in the intersection of international security, inclusive
governance, and civic tech.

Based in New York, he combines grassroots institution-building, peace and security strategies, and AI to bridge the gap between people and institutions. Writing is also where he thinks out loud — about peacebuilding, youth leadership, and Afghanistan.
