Talking about terrorist organizations spread in Islamic countries, this list cannot be completed without Al Qaeda. The faction, which started from Afghanistan at the beginning of ninety, reached its peak with Osama bin Laden. After 9/11 attack, the US decided to end it with its fellow countries. However, even after two decades of effort, the organization did not completely erase, but changed the headquarters. Now in the African country of Mali, this organization has abducted three Indians.
There can be talk on many things here
– Even after the attempts of West, where is the lack, which comes back again, this terrorist organization.
– What is its operating model and who is doing funding.
– Why and how went away from Asia towards Africa.
From Al Qaeda to Islamic State, all the Islamic organizations have an ideology, or harm each other.
Born against Soviet, then US became enemy
Al Qaeda began between seventies to eighties. Then the Soviet Union (now Russia) waged a war in Afghanistan. Here the West was nervous as usual and started supporting Muslim youth to fight in Afghanistan in the name of Jihad to cut Russia. From America to Saudi also gave weapons and training to fighters. Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden reached Pakistan from Saudi. He not only funded it in it, but also came into active battle himself. Osama created a network in the year 1988, which was named Al Qaeda i.e. foundation or foundation.
What was the motive
It was appealed that Muslims from all over the world should unite and tease jihad at the global level. Laden believed that America and its allies are enemies of Islam and their weakening or ending is necessary.
In 1989, Soviet forces moved out of Afghanistan. Now there were fighters in the country, but there was no clear purpose. Then Al Qaeda began to hang western countries, especially America.
How was the work doing
Then the way of work of this organization was focused. He created a network worldwide. Small groups used to work in separate countries but would have been connected in some way or the other. He also got training for suicide attacks. The motive was clear, wherever the US and its friends get a chance, be hurt.
In this episode, 9/11 attack took place and then the bad days of Al Qaeda started. The US attacked Afghanistan and allegedly abolished the organization. But in fact, the terrorists weakened and spread just here and there.
Now what is the way of work
Now it has become a D-Santralized model instead of Afghanistan, whose aim is Global Jihad. They work in different countries by different names. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb is in the west of Africa, who took recent action to abduct. Everywhere they work together with local terrorist organizations so that they do not have to build their land afresh.
Al Qaeda may not be in the headlines as it was at the time of ninety, but it is still alive today. Now this shadow is acting like an organization, which uses the land of local groups. There are reports of its return after the Taliban return to Afghanistan. Some old fundamentalists in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan are still associated with Al Qaeda. However, in some countries of Yemen, Syria and Africa, it has rooted its roots.
Where does funding come from
– There were many supporters in the Gulf countries, who used to donate in the name of global jihad, but it has now reduced.
– Fake charity institutions deposit money in the name of causes, but funding is found.
– It is getting a lot of money from works like drugs, weapons smuggling, kidnapping.
Are you still getting soft support
Al Qaeda continued to get backdoor sympathy from the Muslim world during the ninety era. Especially the countries that lived against America and Israel, they stayed with it. But after 9/11 attack, the graph of its popularity fell. By the way, no country has ever believed that its wires were associated with Al Qaeda. An interesting diplomatic angle also comes here. Iran is Shia country and Al Qaeda Sunni staunch organization. Even after this, after 9/11, some al -Qaeda leaders took a shelter in Iran. American and Israeli intelligence agencies claimed that Tehran is saving them due to his enmity from the US.
Did Islamic State replace Al Qaeda
ISIS came up rapidly from the year 2014. He shocked the whole world by capturing a large part of Syria and Iraq. Now digital media had also arrived. The Islamic State adopted it and brainwashed millions of youth. Not only Muslim countries, but also from western countries, people started coming to Syria or Iraq for the Islamic State. During this time, the effect of Al Qaeda started decreasing. There was also a conflict between the two in some places. However, American military action weakened the Islamic State, which Al Qaeda caught up like an opportunity. He started to strengthen his land again.
Where are the fighters coming from
Al Qaeda uses the Internet for recruitment. For this, he resorts to YouTube and Telegram so that privacy also remains and the network will also be spread. It dreams of a global mission to the youth which cuts them out of the ground reality. That is, without getting old strength, Al Qaeda is still in survival mode and will be able to spread its ideology again as soon as the governments become weak.
