Ezzat Baghdadi

Independent Diplomat | Founder of KMT

Welcome.

If you're reading this, you probably believe — as we do — that dialogue remains possible, even in places where institutions have collapsed, legitimacy has fractured, and trust is nearly absent.

KMT is not a traditional organization.
It is a facilitation platform I created in response to a recurring need I encountered over years of working in divided, fragile contexts:
The need to hold space for dialogue — even when no one feels safe enough to speak, and silence is no longer an option.

I lead this platform as an independent diplomat — not representing a government or an agenda — but shaping the process architecture and protecting the neutrality of the space so others can talk, connect, and build what comes next.

Most of the people we work with — community leaders, mediators, technical experts, and displaced professionals — operate from a place of deep fragility.

Their countries are fractured, their institutions weakened, their personal safety uncertain.
And yet, they show up — through Zoom calls, in protected venues, or across borders — to think, deliberate, and imagine what a fair and viable future could look like.

And while KMT is not an implementing organization, every dialogue process I design is matched with the most appropriate international partner — whether humanitarian, development-focused, or research-based.

That partner may handle financial or administrative operations, or provide logistical and technical support.
But the design, facilitation, and strategic guidance remain with KMT.

This model isn’t just a funding mechanism — it’s a safeguard of neutrality, autonomy, and long-term trust.

Together with these actors, we’ve helped facilitate some of the most sensitive political and civic dialogues in recent years — often quietly, always carefully.


Our work has reached:

  • Geneva

  • Rome

  • Abu Dhabi

  • Oslo

  • Berlin

  • Córdoba

  • Madrid

  • and other capitals committed to peace and inclusive governance.
     

These dialogues are not events.
They are living processes, co-designed with those closest to the problem, grounded in real conditions, and protected from premature politicization — where neutrality, safety, and local ownership are not accessories, but foundations.

I don’t run a large organization.
I lead a flexible facilitation model, supported by a trusted network of regional experts and advisors — a model that can activate quickly, adapt quietly, and hold the line when others can’t.

This is not project delivery.
It is pre-political infrastructure —
for dialogue, for protection, for fragile legitimacy to stand a chance.

And if you're here, perhaps you too believe that peace doesn’t always start with a plan.
Sometimes, it starts with someone listening.
