Happy new year from all at ICCT! 2019 saw the continued aftermath of the fall of the caliphate, the (attempted) returns and prosecutions of FTFs, and the persistent rise of right-wing extremist attacks in the West. Take a look back at 2019 through some of this year's research! Image
With the end of the caliphate came the detention of #ISIS fighters, supporters, and innocent civilians alike in camps like #alHol and #AinIssa; @GinaAVale of @ICSR_Centre and @warstudies analysed the role of IS-affiliated women in these camps and beyond. icct.nl/publication/wo…
During the caliphate, ISIS specifically targeted children and adolescents, combining religious indoctrination and weapons training to mould them into child soldiers. @janilkiz provided recommendations for the psychosocial care for these ex-child soldiers.

In 2019, Western governments came under pressure to repatriate their FTFs. @tanya_mehra1 analysed these developments across 2019, concluding that "there are clear and significant moral and legal grounds for European countries to repatriate their citizens". icct.nl/publication/eu…
According to @GlobPeaceIndex's 2019 GTI, far-right attacks increased by 320% over the past five years. In November, @sjacks26 presented a schema of right-wing extremism across the United States, and discussed the possibility of it being applied elsewhere. icct.nl/publication/a-…
Focusing on a group which gained media attention in 2019—including due to the recent high-profile arrest of Bruce-Umbaugh in Washington—@Jacob_A_Ware provided a necessary briefing on the Neo-Nazi group #Atomwaffen. icct.nl/publication/si…
The increasing transnationality of #RWEX was an important trend in 2019. In addition to such international linkages, @GIRD_S presented research on the links within countries—incl. US, Germany, and the UK—between far right extremists and the military. icct.nl/publication/a-…
Looking beyond 2019 to the future of the terrorist threat in the decade to come, @reinierbergema and Tom Middendorp warned of the nexus between #climatechange and violent extremism, and its threat multiplying effect, already evident in the Western Sahel. icct.nl/publication/th…
In the realm of critical infrastructure interdependencies, @BillBanksINSCT and Katja Samuel similarly presented warnings for the future, emphasising the vast cyber vulnerabilities across the West and beyond to possible future hybrid terrorist threats. icct.nl/publication/hy…
In addition to publishing, ICCT and @BartSchuurman3 reflected on the usefulness of such research to the CT community—finding that researchers should not strive to sit in the policymaker's seat but provide dispassionate, well-informed and critical advice. icct.nl/publication/co…
We finished 2019 with innovative research from one of our 2019 Visiting Fellows @ColinPClarke, using a novel framework to analyse and predict the longevity of #alQaeda. icct.nl/publication/us…
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful authors, researchers, fellows, followers, and the CT community who have made 2019 so productive🌍Tweet us and let us know what #counterterrorism topics and regions you think will matter most in 2020! and #happynewyear2020 from The Hague! Image

With the influx of public interest on the #ProudBoys and other #RightWingExtremist groups, we at ICCT wanted to highlight some crucial analysis done by past contributors on political violence and the far-right (1/6 of a thread on #RWEX research)
Samantha Kutner (@ashkenaz89) wrote an in-depth analysis of the Proud Boys, to provide insight on how broader themes of self-categorization, precarity, and deliberate provocation in crypto-fascist extremist organisations manifest themselves (2/6) icct.nl/publication/sw…
Jacob Ware's (@Jacob_A_Ware) detailed and comparative analysis of terrorist manifestoes used by the violent Far-Right highlights common themes and key implications for counterterrorism scholars and practitioners (3/6) icct.nl/publication/te…

1/5 What does it mean to mainstream gender across counter-#terrorism research and practice? (note that gender is not synonymous with women) A thread on ICCT's recent publications on male supremacism and the need for gender-sensitive analysis.
2/5 Our perspective on the Hanau terror attack explores the links between male supremacism and #FarRight violence, and notes how these links should not be trivialised by labelling attackers as incels: icct.nl/publication/ma…
3/5 More generally, how has male supremacism contributed to terrorist attacks? @alexdibranco argues that it is a distinct form of right-wing extremist ideology that has only recently entered public awareness: icct.nl/publication/ma…

And we're live! Click the link to join our Live Briefing on al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in West Africa with @TheSoufanCenter's @ColinPClarke and our own @Julie_Coleman. Cooperation or competition? Looking forward to an engaging Q&A to follow!
zoom.us/j/106685184 Image
To kick us off, @ColinPClarke drives home the point that these groups are not monolithic entities—regardless of what’s happening in the Sahel, something entirely different could be happening in other local contexts, like Southeast Asia. Join in here: zoom.us/j/106685184
.@ColinPClarke: In recent years, AQ has done a good job of staying under the radar—where it likes to be. ISIS has borne the brunt of the West: this has allowed AQ to effectively ingratiate itself in local communities in this region.

In recent years—as IS’ regional affiliate, Islamic State in Greater Sahara has risen—the Western Sahel has experienced an unprecedented rise in terrorist violence, with more than 4,000 deaths reported in 2019. But, al-Qaeda’s presence remains strong... Image
Now—with both groups vying for resources, support, and territory in West Africa—will al-Qaeda and the Islamic State compete or cooperate? Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
