Sources and Methodology: monitoring, study and analysis of primary and direct sources of propaganda from Salafi-jihadist organisations and groups (videos, photos, statements, claims).
Verification and Limitations: this analysis of propaganda does not require verification and has no limitations as it comprehensively shows only the propaganda published by organisations and groups, highlighting language, structure, type and objectives.
Structure of the analysis:
Individual organisations will break down the propaganda:
In the case of al-Qaeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS), the central leadership, official branches and provinces will be included.
Then, independent jihadist groups, which have alliances and relations with other jihadist groups but which have independent operations and propaganda, will be included.
Finally, there are the jihadist tactical groups.
