The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) has launched a new weekly series,
Afghanistan Content Report, that compiles the raw propaganda output of al-Qaeda
and ISIS affiliates operating in Afghanistan, as well as content related to
Afghanistan, collected by CEP researchers. By releasing this material to the
wider expert and terrorism analyst community, including through a rough
translation and summaries of the original texts into English, CEP aims to
inform and build a long-term analysis of the development of the propaganda
strategies of these groups and therefore support a thorough analysis of the
terrorism threat.

CEP Launches New Series Detailing Raw Propaganda From ISIS And Al-Qaeda
Affiliates In Afghanistan


(New York, N.Y.) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) has launched a new
weekly series, Afghanistan Content Report, that compiles the raw propaganda
output of al-Qaeda and ISIS affiliates operating in Afghanistan, as well as
content related to Afghanistan, collected by CEP researchers. By releasing this
material to the wider expert and terrorism analyst community, including through
a rough translation and summaries of the original texts into English, CEP aims
to inform and build a long-term analysis of the development of the propaganda
strategies of these groups and therefore support a thorough analysis of the
terrorism threat.



“CEP’s monitoring of al-Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS, and pro-ISIS propaganda is
essential to closing the knowledge gap about the activities in the region. The
international community can ill afford to misread the fluid dynamics shaping
the country and impacting its people,” said CEP senior director Dr. Hans-Jakob
Schindler. “The Afghanistan Content Report is an essential resource to
governments and researchers seeking a better understanding of their motivations
and priorities.”

CEP’s most recent report, covering the period of March 9 – March 15, includes
a selection of pro-ISIS online chatter curated from Telegram and RocketChat
critical of criminal punishments handed down by the Taliban that users claim do
not correspond to religiously mandated punishments, commentary on attacks by
unknown individuals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, claims the governor of Badakhshan
Province asked local officials to report suspected Salafist imams to Taliban
intelligence, and criticism of Taliban envoys visiting Moscow to conduct talks
with Russian officials. The report also includes two Pashto pro-ISIS-K Al-Azaim
pamphlets titled “Ramadan the Month of Conquests” and “Ramadan Gifts”
encouraging fighting, committing attacks, and remembrance of individuals held
as prisoners.
