Organization:notes | Ansar Dine is a Mali-based Salafist Islamic extremist group founded in late 2011 by its Tuareg leader Iyad ag Ghaly. Iyad ag Ghaly, the leader of Ansar Dine, also leads Jama'at Nusrat Al-Islam Wal-Muslimin (JNIM), and Ansar Dine is considered to be a subgroup of JNIM. Its main objectives are to implement Sharia law across Mali and to expel foreign influence from the country. Although largely focused on Mali, Ansar Dine has worked in coordination with Al Qaida in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM) and other Al Qaida-aligned groups, and has expressed support for a global jihadist ideology. Ansar Dine mainly targets Malian, French, and United Nations forces. It has also targeted civilians, including Westerners, for kidnapping. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-130-ansar-dine | ||||
