Item Summary

This investigation analyses an indicative sample of visual materials shared by the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) to identify key narratives in the content, provide explanations of their context, and assess their purposes: whether to garner support, cultivate a distinct aesthetic identity and ideology, proliferate a sense of belonging, or inspire group members to conduct attacks. Its findings are based on a qualitative collection and analysis of visual propaganda (in the form of stickers, gifs, generic images, posters, and infographics) shared by Al-Azaim, ISKP publishing groups, and ISKP-affiliated channels on Telegram and Rocket Chat from 1 January – 31 July 2024."
