DAKAR, Senegal - On Aug. 5, militants carrying the black flag of the Islamic State launched a daring land-and-sea assault on the strategic port city of Mocimboa da Praia in northern Mozambique. In less than a week, they routed government forces and captured the entire town, declaring it the capital of a new Islamic province.
Days later, a different band of Islamist gunmen rampaged through a famous wildlife park for giraffes in Koure, Niger, just 35 miles from the country's capital. Firing from motorbikes, they killed eight people, including six French humanitarian workers.
The two attacks on opposite sides of Africa are among the scores of violent episodes to shake the continent in what experts are calling a breakout year for extremist groups affiliated with al-Qaida or the Islamic State. Less than two years after the fall of the Islamic State's self-declared caliphate in Syria and Iraq, the terrorist group is attempting a comeback in Africa, with far-reaching implications for a region already beset by poverty, corruption and the novel coronavirus.

If you follow the history of the religion of peace, these kind of groups pop up every 20 or so years. It has been like this since the Religion of Peace began over a millennia ago. Nothing is going to change this, its pops up it gets knocked down again, rinse and repeat.

No mention of DNA or parentage this time.
I see no reason for any nation to continue supporting jail facilities anymore for these things. Especially since the funding comes in part from financially impoverished nations.
Who really defeated the Islamic State – Obama or Trump?
Obama dropped leaflets. I hear if a leaftlet hits you, you are dead.
Then there was OBama refusing to bomb microrefineries used by ISIS to generate income. He was afraid of the environmntal damage.
Obama was going to let ISIS kill every Kurd in Kobane.
That is until Putin started bombing ISIS and public opinion polls went south due to the genocide of Kurds in Kobane. Then Obama finally stepped in and asked the Air force to take it up a notch.
