This year, CEP research analyst Gregory Waters spearheaded original reporting as part of a multi-year study on ISIS’s ongoing insurgency in central Syria. In addition to his monthly “ISIS Redux” resources, CEP published Waters’s investigation into the murders of Syrian civilians, many of whom were truffle hunters, in Syria’s Badia region.
Additionally, CEP monitors ISIS and its affiliates through its monthly Afghanistan Terrorism Report, its Sahel Monitoring, as well as the weekly Extremist Content Online resource (ECO). Weekly ECO reports invariably include analysis of official ISIS propaganda and pro-ISIS content proliferating across Internet and social media platforms including Gab, Meta services, Telegram, TikTok, and X, formerly known as Twitter.
CEP is dedicated to providing policymakers, the media, and the public with accurate, timely, and insightful information about the ongoing activities of ISIS and its permutations across the globe. Your contribution will help us inform and empower those who shape security policies to more effectively address the ongoing threats posed by one of the world’s most infamous terrorist groups.
