초록

Islamic terrorist groups in Maghreb region are continuously growing and diversifying through years; sometimes growing into enormous sizes and at times disappearing. Among the groups that dream of Islam Theocracy, al-Murābiṭūn has recently been gaining the most attention. It is executing activities throughout Algeria, Niger, Mali, Libya and Mauritania led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar who is spotted as one of the world’s most dangerous men.
Forces that call themselves as branches of the Islamic State (IS) group are rising, and Maghreb region is not an exception. In Maghreb, IS is operating under the name of Jund Al Khilapha, but it has not grown up into a big organization like AQMI (Al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique) except for Libya. However, its potential powers are not negligible since it is attracting the young generation. Unlike the AQMI which centers around the Sahel regions of the Sahara, the main activity base of IS is in the mountainous and coastal areas.
Currently all the attention is focused on branches of IS, making the AQMI to look comparably weak. This made AQMI and al-Murābiṭūn become more aggressive to acquire influence. Since 2014, AQMI and Belmokhtar have met to unite against the ever growing IS branches.
Since then, we saw Paris’s attack by IS and Mali hotel attack by al-Murābiṭūn this year. Many worry about the beginning of competition among terrorist groups for supremacy in Maghreb. If individual nations of Maghreb were stabilized and if they managed to cooperate, there’s no need to mind the grouping and parting of terrorist groups, but for now, we should be alert.
