ISIS continued to pursue ongoing campaigns both regionally and further abroad throughout March. The group carried out a spectacular, sophisticated terror attack in Brussels on March 22. The attack, which was unprecedented in Belgium, is part of ISIS’s ongoing campaign to attack and polarize the West, sowing disorder to make way for future expansion to a global Caliphate. The group also continued to demonstrate its intent to remain and expand in North Africa by establishing lines of communication between the group’s Libyan stronghold and ISIS-linked groups in Tunisia and Algeria. ISIS also showed expanded operational capability in the Sinai, with a pair of increasingly sophisticated explosive attacks, and in the Caucasus with an accelerated set of explosive attacks. ISIS has shown resiliency by persisting in these campaigns in the near and far abroad despite losses inside of Iraq and Syria, such as the loss of Palmyra to pro-regime forces on March 27.

I would add that Sudan is now split into North Sudan and South Sudan. North is Muslim and South is Christian I believe.

PO1 Kerry French - I believe ISW is referring to current ISIS-influenced areas, which are highlighted on the map. The Sudan countries are not highlighted because they aren't presently on the receiving end of the ISIS threat.

Oh ok... gotcha.... not at risk... yet.
Thanks for keeping us informed SPC Corbin Sayi.
I certainly hope we are forging a stronger alliance with Egypt and leveraging our relationship with France in terms of ISIS operational intentions in North Africa and the Sahel region.
