🏴 🌍 Return of the Black Flags 🔶️ Paweł Wójcik | "It's absolutely bizzare that it feels like Islamic State's sword is above so many countries today, while in September 2023 everyone was busy claiming it's the end of GWOT and time for great powers competition. In a way it's true. But the consequences are due to get grim." 🔶️ "To put into perspective - a year ago since January to July, A Caliph was killed, Chief of GDP in Syria, Chief in GDP in Somalia, Emir for the Philippines, Mozambique heavily invested in global Islamic State network. Things suggested that IS web might be going into degradation." 🔶️ "Since then all of the above have signs that the replacement not only proved themselves capable, IS succeeded in making their networks run efficiently despite a heavy American-led crackdown. There is just too much space and power vacuum, while cooperation against them is lacking." 🔶️ "And right now there is a rush to blame everything on ISKP (so the infamous Khorasan region), while ignoring (mostly stems from ignorance), that ISKP is a speahead of the well-oiled machine." 📝 I.P. "Ironically, ISIS saw the great power competition on a global scale as an opportunity and prepared its fighters and followers throughout 2023, using the conflict between Russia and the West for its advance in western Africa and the situation in Syria for its resurgence." 📎 I.P.
