Eyes on Jihadism. Monitoring Jihadist Propaganda #97

From 1 to 7 January

In one publication, a newsletter collects the main propaganda of Jihadist and Salafist-Jihadist organisations and groups, from 1 to 7 January.

Propaganda will be divided into individual organisations:

In the case of al-Qaeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS), central leadership and official branches and provinces will be included.

Then some groups integrated into the Syrian brigades of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) or cooperating with the “Al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room” and groups aligned with HTS, which in their ideology and propaganda continue to show clear links with local or global jihadism, will be included.

Thus, after AQ and IS, a section will be devoted to groups integrated into HTS’s Liwa but publish independent propaganda.

This will be followed by groups aligned with HTS (operationally and militarily, coordinating with HTS's “Operations Room al-Fateh al-Mubin” or abiding by its policies) but not integrated.

Then there will be the independent groups, those with alliances and close relations with other jihadist groups, with independent operations and propaganda.

Finally, there are the jihadist tactical groups.

This issue contains all the main propaganda material:

• Al-Qaeda:

(AQAP, JNIM);

• Islamic State (IS):

(1 issue al-Naba, IS official media)

• Jihadist groups integrated into Liwa/Brigade HTS but with independent propaganda.

(Turkestan Islamic Party).

• Jihadist Tactical Group

(Tactical Omair, Fursan Tactical).
