Back in late 2013/early 2014, I wrote one of the first profiles for this group (Faylaq Wa'ad al-Sadiq) when it was recruiting fighters for Syria for Hizballah Cavalcade on @Jihadology_Net: jihadology.net/2014/01/13/hi…
Back in 2014, I wrote one of the first (I think it was the first) profiles on Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiyah for Hizballah Cavalcade on @Jihadology_Net. You can see the genesis of the group and it's close links to Nujaba a bit better in the post.

I wrote the first ever profile of this group back in 2015 for @Jihadology_Net. They were trained, equipped, and built up by the Islamic Republic-loyal Badr Organization, had a number of incidents with US forces/Kurds in northern Iraq, and are generally a bad actor around Mosul.

Wrote a short piece for @Jihadology_Net asking questions about what the recent claims of AQAP-Houthi cooperation may mean in light of what we know about al-Qaeda-Iran relations (both over the past few decades and particularly post-Zawahiri): jihadology.net/2025/02/17/gu…
Interesting to see this occur now. Group has been incredibly close to KH and Harakat Hizballah al-Nujaba since its beginning. I wrote one of the earliest pieces on them here for Hizballah Cavalcade on @Jihadology_Net:

Islamic State has now officially claimed this IED in #Kampala's Kabalagala area, saying its men "targeted a group of infidel Christians" and that the explosion "wounded several among them." The Islamic State's local wing, ADF, has been trying to target Kampala for months. #Uganda

A festival in VA canceled a menorah lighting — which had nothing to do with Israel —because it claimed celebrating Chanukah would imply support for the “killing/bombing” of Gaza.
It is antisemitic to hold Jews collectively responsible for Israel. Period. ujcvp.org/ujc-chai-lights/f/…
