[THREAD] 1/ In 2022, the Islamic State claimed 2,028 attacks in 24 countries. It carried out large-scale operations in Syria, Nigeria and Afghanistan. Sharp decline in #IS operations in Iraq. Africa was the continent most afflicted, with a sharp increase in attacks at Christians.
2/ Detail about the methodology: I have analysed all the information provided by the Islamic State in the 52 issues of its weekly magazine al-Naba’ (cf. the front page of the issue 369). For every single IS claimed attack, I have analysed the target(s)/weapon(s) used/geolocation.

Dans la vidéo, on voit les visages des enfants récitant le #Coran puis des adultes qui indiquent que leur combat est dédié à la défense de leur religion contre les incrédules de l'@ONU_fr et les chrétiens.

#RDCongo: dans les premières séquences on voit celui qui peut être #Musa_Baluku, responsable des #ADF dirigé une cérémonie d'allégeance au calife. Les combattants déclarent qu'ils sont basés à #Beni, #Butembo et prêts à toute éventualité pour conserver et étendre le règne d'Allah

1. Time for a status update on #IS.
We’ve been collecting and analysing #IS comms and chatter continuously for the last few years.
This is what the short- (50-day) and long-term (200-day) rolling averages look like for #IS attacks as of 10 October 2022.

[THREAD] 1/ Over the past year, the Islamic State claimed 2767 military operations. The overwhelming majority of these attacks targeted Sunni Muslims, although the group never described them as such. 40 attacks were against Shia civilians. 34 attacks against Christians/churches.
2/ Detail about the methodology: I gathered the data from the 53 issues of IS weekly magazine al-Naba’ published in 2020 (cf. the front page of the issue 219). For every single claimed attack, I analysed the following information: target, weapons used, spoils of war, geolocation.
