HALTING ISIS REVIVAL

THE global coalition against the Islamic State group gathered yesterday in Morocco to co-ordinate efforts to prevent the jihadists staging a revival in the Middle East and North Africa. The discussions covered “stabilisation efforts in areas previously impacted by Daesh”, strategic communication against the group’s “radicalisation propaganda” and the battle against foreign fighters, the Moroccan foreign ministry said. The meeting comes as jihadists try to bolster their presence in the Sahel region and West Africa. |
