AEThe United Nations has warned that ISIS remains a significant global threat despite years of counterterrorism efforts. According to a briefing by Oguljeren Niyazberdiyeva of the UN Office of Counterterrorism, ISIS has adapted by relying on resilient regional affiliates operating in conflict zones, particularly in Africa's Sahel and Lake Chad Basin. These affiliates, including the most active one known as Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have demonstrated increased capability in using commercial drone technology. The closure of Al Hol camp in Syria has raised security concerns due to the unknown status of thousands of former residents. The UN official emphasized that while ISIS's central leadership has been disrupted, the group remains resilient through its decentralized structure and shared ideology.
