Organization:notes | Al-Murabitoun, based in West Africa, is a terrorist organization established through a merger between the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa and al'Muwaqi'un Bil-Dima in August 2013. Al-Murabitoun's goal is to spread jihad across North Africa. The group was formed to strengthen efforts against French military forces and interests in the region. Al-Murabitoun has carried out terrorist activity, such as the February 8, 2014 kidnapping of five Malian aid workers near Gao, Mali. In 2015, Al-Murabitoun reaffirmed its continued adherence to the jihadist ideology of Al Qaida (AQ). It has also conducted joint operations with Al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast. On March 2, 2017, Al-Murabitoun merged with three other groups, including AQIM's Sahara branch, to form Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), an umbrella group which pledged allegiance to AQ. No incidents have been claimed or attributed to Al-Murabitoun since 2018. However, Al-Murabitoun fighters likely continue to participate in attacks claimed by JNIM. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-4-al-murabitoun | ||||
