Les profils de la violence perpétrée par les groupes islamistes militants d’Afrique évoluent. Ils continuent néanmoins de semer le chaos à un niveau record, causant, en moyenne, 14 évènements violents par jour.
Un examen des données sur les évènements violents attribuables aux groupes islamistes militants en Afrique pendant le premier semestre de 2021 et leur évolution au cours de la dernière décennie met en relief la menace grandissante qu’ils posent.

Leading figures in the insurgent group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, which is the dominant faction in the insurgent-held regions of Idlib and its environs, have long expressed admiration for the Taliban in Afghanistan and its efforts in the face of the Afghan government that was backed by the United States and other international actors. For them, the Taliban’s recent victory in Afghanistan constitutes a victory for Muslims (i.e. Sunnis) and is an example of steadfastness in the face of a foreign occupation. Unsurprisingly, therefore, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham has released its own official statement congratulating the Taliban and the ‘people of the Afghans’. The statement highlights the Taliban’s years of fighting as an inspiration for its own ‘steadfastness’, while also urging the international community to recognise that it should not support oppressive regimes against the will of the peoples who reject them. The statement concludes with a hope for victory to liberate Syria and implement Islamic law.

American media and other politicians, and the people they pay to say things, are locked up tight with the demise in Afghanistan. How could anyone let this happen?

Two decades of American sacrifice was too few years for them.
