of the language of ‘war’, Western loss of strategy, post-heroism and
risk aversion in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Words have
power - precision matters
With widespread political uncertainty in both the Middle-East and the West, AQ’s physical status in 2022 remains uncertain at best, but its but its powerful ideological narrative is highly likely to remain. However, we assess that in the light of a potentially forthcoming Daesh defeat, that AQ is again likely to gain prominence, but as an even more decentralised movement, with an even larger emphasis on ‘lone-wolf’ attacks.
AQAP and al-Nusra Front are the affiliates with the greatest capabilities, and therefore a threat.
AQC is not defeated, and retains a significant and resurgent power-base in the AFPAK region. The probable defeat of Daesh may result in the transfer of fighters and assets to AQC.
Since the rise and recent potential demise of Daesh, we assess that al-Qaeda (AQ) has begun to implement a longer-term strategy that focuses on winning the hearts and minds of the Muslim population. Long-term objectives and intentions however, seem to have remained broadly consistent.
