Daesh

Daesh, also known as ISIS or ISIL, is a militant group that emerged from Al-Qaeda in Iraq. It aims to establish a strict Islamic state governed by its interpretation of Sharia law. Gaining notoriety in the early 2010s, it captured large territories in Iraq and Syria, employing extreme violence and terrorism. The group is known for brutal tactics, including beheadings, and for its propaganda efforts to recruit followers globally. Though it has lost significant territory in recent years, Daesh remains a concern for international security due to its ongoing influence and the potential for terrorism.
