The claim of @DeborahLyonsUN that the self-declared Islamic State — Khorasan Province (#ISKP #DaeshKhorasan) "now seems to be present in nearly all provinces [of #Afghanistan]" is alarmist and NOT supported by any evidence. (1/4)
While there have been ISKP claims in provinces where ISKP has previously not been active, this is the exception NOT the rule. Rumours from other provinces are often highly doubtful and have at times even been disproved. And such rumours do NOT cover “nearly all provinces”. (2/4)
That said, there are credible indications that @DeborahLyonsUN and @unafghanistan are basing their claims on highly questionable sources and are swift to attribute activities to ISKP without critically questioning information — which is always a must in the Afghan context.(3/4)
