Now the IS bay'a storm seems to be over we can compare the Bay'a campaign of 2019 with that of 2022.
1. In 2019 The Islamic State published pledges of allegiance from 15 countries vs. 13 in 2022
2. In 2019; significantly more pledges from Iraq and Syria, now Africa leads
1/ Image
3. 2019: Sinai, Bangladesh, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Khurasan, Tunisia, West-Africa, Tajikistan, Phillipines, Iraq, Libya, Indonesia, Azerbaijan.
2022: Iraq, West-Africa, Syria, Somalia, Phillipines, Yemen, Khurasan, Libya, Sahel, Pakistan, India, Sinai, Central-Africa 2/
4. Gone since 2019: Bangladesh, Tunisia, Tajikistan, Indonesia, Azerbaijan
5. New since 2022: Sahel, India and Central-Africa (Congo & Mozambique)
6. Most surprising: no more Bay'a from Tunisia. Bangladesh, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan had small cells, so no surprise they're gone 3/

The Islamic State is plundering parts of #Nigeria now.

They manage to impose the Islamic tax of Zakāt at least in some regions at this point 1/
But then again, they redistribute some of it in charity (it seems)
