Five years ago this month, a U.S.-backed Kurdish and Arab militia ousted Islamic State group fighters from a village in eastern Syria, the group’s last sliver of territory.
Since then, the organization that once staked out a self-proclaimed caliphate across Iraq and Syria has metastasized into a more traditional terrorist group — a clandestine network of cells from West Africa to Southeast Asia engaged in guerrilla attacks, bombings and targeted assassinations.
The suburban Moscow concert hall assault last Friday that killed more than 130 people was the deadliest attack inside Russia in 20 years. It raised major questions about the capabilities and ambitions of the terror group that U.S. officials believe was responsible: ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K, an affiliate of the self-declared Islamic State that emerged in Afghanistan.
Scholars over the years have tried to fathom the emergence and difference between Nazism and Fascism. Looking into various scales of similarity and differences they reached different conclusions. In their views, the Fascist and Nazi movements developed in roughly three parallel stages.
Throughout its history, the continent of Africa has grappled with a variety of formidable obstacles including tribalism, colonialism, democratic deficits and widespread corruption.

The “February deadline” set by Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for the Syrian regime forces’ withdrawal from the territory that Turkey says is part of the Idlib de-escalation zone (meaning behind Turkey’s observation posts) in north-western Syria has timed out. Thus, the end-of-February deadline has opened doors to new possible scenarios and questions in the area.

The Iranian presence in Syria has always been a source of concern at a regional level, for Arab countries on the one hand, and for Israel on the other. If the partial Arab severance of relations with al-Assad has pushed the issue of Iranian presence off the negotiation table, this does not reflect a resignation to Tehran’s influence in Damascus, contrary to the vision presented by the Syrian regime president, Bashar al-Assad, in March 2023 (before returning to the Arab League).
There is still no universal definition of barbarism. It is politics that defines what is or is not a terrorist act. The recent negotiation of the amnesty law for those convicted by the “procs” reactivates the debate
The case of Canadian Nathaniel Veltman is exemplary, of book. At the age of 20, on June 6, 2020, he claimed the lives of four members of the Afzaal family, Muslims of Pakistani origin, rammed them with their van in the Canadian province of Ontario. After committing the multiple murder, he went to a mall, called the police, confessed and surrendered. Veltman was part of a disstructured family, of divorced parents, but a fundamentalist Christian. In the interrogation, the boy stated that he killed the Afzaal after months of planning to attack Muslims simply because they were; that he wanted to send a message to other young white people to do the same: to kill with their cars citizens who professed Islam, including children, with their cars, with the aim of making the impact, terror, greater. I wanted to generate a sense of insecurity in that community to leave the country. On 22 February, Judge Renee Pomerance sentenced him to life imprisonment. The judge did not want to pronounce her name, but she left one thing clear: she is a terrorist, and what she did, a case of a book of terrorism.
