Correction: Not Abuwakas, but a Kenyan known as Ghuraba
Correction: Not Abuwakas, but a Kenyan known as Ghuraba
Islamic State's Mozambique Province hasn't been part of ISCAP since May 2022, over three years ago.
Also re-upping my own recent piece on African jihadism at @HudsonInstitute: A deep dive into the lasting legacy of Aboud Rogo. The killed Kenyan sheikh continues to radicalize and recruit for both al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in Africa from well beyond the grave.

ISCAP continuing to justify its massacres of Christians in this week’s Al Naba, again under the pretext that local Congolese are refusing to convert to Islam or pay jizya (tax on non-Muslims). Discussing these three options is saturating ISCAP’s current propaganda output.#Congo

Excellent new piece from @caleb_weiss7 on the lasting influence of Aboud Rogo in Swahili jihadism. Some time ago, I suggested him as one of multiple "jihadist superstars" (coined by T. Hegghammer) and this piece explains exactly how and why. hudson.org/religious-free…
