Kriszta SatoriToday is the 10th anniversary of IS’ “ <a href="https://journa.host/tags/caliphate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#caliphate</a> ” declaration. The leadership of the Islamic State group celebrated the date in March (acc to the Hijri calendar), boasting that despite setbacks, today <a href="https://journa.host/tags/IS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IS</a> was “growing stronger and expanding”, and called for recruits to its branches - for more check out <a href="https://journa.host/tags/TheGlobalJigsaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheGlobalJigsaw</a> on the evolution of <a href="https://journa.host/tags/ISIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ISIS</a> <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct6r7g" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct6r7g</a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/daesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#daesh</a>

Kriszta Satori"Sometimes it experiences setbacks and it's very quiet and then it surges again. So I think we ignore <a href="https://journa.host/tags/IS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IS</a> at our own peril - and if we look at the example of its predecessor, the <a href="https://journa.host/tags/IslamicState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IslamicState</a> of Iraq with the US’ surge in 2007 - by 2010 It was left for dead. And then 2013 it had staged a number of prison breaks in Iraq that replenished Its ranks  then a year later went on to declare a <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Caliphate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Caliphate</a> . "

Kriszta Satori"a lot of these messaging we see attempts to project <a href="https://journa.host/tags/IS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IS</a> de facto authority. We have seen images of preaching and religious outreach, we have seen sharia law being carried out and so the aim of all of this is to draw some kind of continuity between the heyday of the <a href="https://journa.host/tags/caliphate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#caliphate</a> and now, which is a way to play to IS global audience but also to encourage recruits on the ground"

Kriszta Satori"we've seen pictures in the <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Sahel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sahel</a> of huge numbers of fighters often on  motorcycles parading across large open plains in daylight and it is all adding to this image of IS being able to act with impunity.

Kriszta Satori"On the 10th of June 2014 <a href="https://journa.host/tags/IS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IS</a> captured <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Mosul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mosul</a> in Northern <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Iraq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Iraq</a> and went on to swiftly capture other <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Sunni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sunni</a> <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Iraqi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Iraqi</a> areas. it then linked them up to areas it had already taken control of in <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Syria</a> , across the border. On the 29th of June the group declared itself a a <a href="https://journa.host/tags/caliphate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#caliphate</a> , rebranding as the <a href="https://journa.host/tags/IslamicState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IslamicState</a> and it named its then leader Abu Bakr al <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Baghdadi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Baghdadi</a> as caliph. In August that year IS marched to <a href="https://journa.host/tags/Yazidi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Yazidi</a> areas near Mosul and killed and enslaved thousands of its residents. "
