Jihadist movements have claimed that they are merely vehicles for
the application of God's word, distancing themselves from politics,
which they call dirty and manmade. Yet on closer examination,
jihadist movements are immersed in politics, negotiating political
relationships not just with the forces surrounding them, but also
within their own ranks. Drawing on case studies from North Africa
and the Sahel - including Algeria, Libya, Mali, Niger, Burkina
Faso, and Mauritania - this study examines jihadist movements from
the inside, uncovering their activities and internal struggles over
the past three decades. Highlighting the calculations that jihadist
field commanders and clerics make, Alexander Thurston shows how
leaders improvise, both politically and religiously, as they adjust
to fast-moving conflicts. Featuring critical analysis of
Arabic-language jihadist statements, this book offers unique
insights into the inner workings of jihadist organisations and
sheds new light on the phenomenon of mass-based jihadist movements
and proto-states.
