Islamic State's old tactic of targeting town elders has been in the news for a while. But this is a rare close-up on the issue, by the always insightful @FazelHawramy, with lots of color & quotes: rudaw.net/english/middle… via @RudawEnglish
Read work like this, not the useless fluff that dominates coverage of the CT field. Thank you.
Two essential podcasts from natives of Mosul. Absolutely good, no matter how much you heard/read about what happened:

The situation for the Islamic State today resembles 2008, only on a broader geographic scale—which is why it's trying to replicate its old blueprint but across the region. This explains why its affiliates are getting CLOSER to it & why it's quielty growing foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/03/wel…
Related to this idea, this trend of jihadists across the board going local also increasingly involves ISIS. The difference is ISIS is local in more countries, tightly connected to the Caliphate Central. Focus on the West is a thing of the past. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Strange teaser for a “video” release by the Islamic State’s al-Furqan media. Coming soon.

Guess where this conspiracy theory is common, aside from Egypt and the Gulf states.
Sort of proves the point?
