ISIS continues publicizing videos swearing Allegiance to New leader

RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, media outlets close to the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) publicized a new video footage, presenting militants swearing allegiance to ISIS new caliph and urging for Jihad, which is the fourth to be published this month.

On December 19, ISIS publicized through close media outlets a video, showing its militants swearing allegiance to the “ISIS new caliph” in Syrian Badia, as it was preceded by two other video footages earlier this month.

ISIS-run Amaq news agency publicized a video presenting dozens of ISIS militants in Pakistan pledging allegiance to Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini.

The video started with a speech by so-called Abu Dujana al-Pakistani, conveying messages stressing the organization’s persistence, and that it “does not depend on a specific person.”

He vowed to intensify operations in Africa, Khorasan, Iraq, and Western countries, and tried to under-estimate attacks on ISIS’ leaders by operations of the US-led Global Coalition to defeat ISIS.

Al-Pakistani called on his followers not to despair, and he said that the path is fraught with dangers.

Observers believe that these messages mark a period of weakness that has frustrated ISIS militants and supporters.

In the video that was entitled, “Indeed Allah will help those who help Him,” showed less than ten individuals.

The video that was filmed in Pakistan and the one preceded it in the Syrian Desert showed a difference in terms of equipment and capabilities, since the previous one included more military equipment.
