Who Is the New Leader of Islamic State-Khorasan Province?

2nd September, 2020 · admin 19 Comments

Lawfare: Following leadership losses, defections, and operational setbacks, the Islamic State’s Afghanistan-based affiliate, the Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP), appears to be struggling in Afghanistan. But the remnants of ISKP are trying to reconstitute the group. Recently, ISKP appointed Shahab al-Muhajir as its new regional chief. According to multiple sources, the newly appointed head of ISKP is an Arab from the Middle East who was previously with al-Qaeda in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. Muhajir’s promotion marks the first time that an individual from outside South Asia has been appointed as the top leader of the Islamic State’s franchise in the region, which could have significant implications for the group.

      THE REGION :
      ===============
      .
      Historically and traditionary;
      symbolic
      “KHOAR-AHSAHN”,
      had
      always been loosely-linked
      with
      eastern parts,
      of
      the
      Islamic world,
      .
      .
      A
      mosaic landscape
      of
      almost two million
      square miles- with highly-variable
      landforms
      of
      deserts; unique mountain ranges;
      and
      various-size low and high rugged plateau formations.
      .
      Farther; along the eastern
      expansions; the vast region encompasses
      highly-metamorphosed tectonic zones
      of
      diverse origins which, at their eastern margins, form some
      of
      the
      longest, highest and widest
      complex systems
      of
      interconnected continental mountain ranges
      in
      the
      world.
      .
      Those spectacularly
      colliding
      and
      interacting
      colossal mountain ranges
      of
      Asia, consist
      of
      Himalayas, Bah-Bah, Karakrums, Kunlun,
      and
      Tian Sham.
      .
      All; somehow, poised
      as
      grand formation at the
      high junctions
      of
      the
      extremely-convoluted
      “Pahmeer roof-top”.
      .
      They all are packed with numerous clusters
      of
      high peaks and long sheets
      of
      dazzling thick glaciers
      on
      top
      of
      high-altitude sub-ranges that
      geologically; geographically and socially
      form
      the
      earth’s
      “Great Divide”.
      .
      A high “continental barrier”; right
      in
      the midst
      of
      the
      whole lower parts of mid-Asia . It unsteadily runs
      almost straight down south, on its long length, from
      south-eastern
      parts
      of
      the
      great Russian’s Siberian plain.
      .
      .
      Deep subduction of the Indian Plate, underneath the south-west margins
      of
      the
      Euro-Asian plates, have created
      the famed formations
      of
      the
      Himalayan
      highly-raised
      complex sub-ranges,
      ((more than 1400 miles long)), where at its southern-most
      bottom end,
      natural
      turns and twists of its margins, extends
      south all the way down
      to
      Burmese
      tropical rugged highlands, next
      to
      the
      Bengal Bay of Indian Ocean
      .
      .
      Huge high Tibetan and lower
      Slaymahn,
      ((Solomon)) Plateaus,
      also have had been forming
      as 
      direct 
      results of the plunge ((subduction))
      of the
      “grand Indian plate”
      .
      .
      Tibetan plateaus, on eastern parts
      of
      upper Himalayas, extends deep into interior
      of
      China proper.
      while
      the
      uplifts
      of
      the
      lows and highs
      of
      the
      “Slaymahn Plateaus”, run parallel along
      the
      south-western lower foothills
      of
      the
      long
      “Bah-Bah” mountain’s
      sub-range
      and
      its extensions
      next to the Indus long valley.

        *BREIF HISTORY :
        ===============
        .
        After
        the
        defeat of the
        Chinese Tang Empire
        in
        750-51 A.D.,
        ((right at the out set of the power transfer 
        from
        Amaweeds dynasty
        to
        Abahseeds dynasty
        in
        Baghdad)), the Eastern 
        high rises
        of
        the rugged and mostly desolate mountainous Islamic frontiers extended
        from the high and rugged
        Kashmeer and Indus upper river valleys, all the way up,
        to
        eastern parts
        of
        Central Asia’s Turkistan region,
        ((next to uncharted Chinese, Mongolian
        and
        Siberian borders)),
        where the whole vast region had been roughly
        classified and referred
        to,
        as the final extent
        of
        the
        Khorasan’s expansions”,
        during various historical phases
        since the arrival of Islam.
        .
        The main reason,
        behind
        the
        symbolic
        allusions
        and
        folkloric tales
        of
        “Khorasan”
        was
        that the
        whole region, from early on, was strictly
        administered
        from
        the, back then, vibrant city and outposts
        of
        Merv.
        .
        .
        The town was located along the
        “Silk and Spice”
        routes”
        to
        China and India; 
        with
        an
        estimated population of over
        a
        million
        in
        and
        around 
        early 1200’s.
        .
        The ruins
        of
        the ancient Merv
        is
        located
        in
        today’s
        South-East
        Turkmenistan; north of Bahdghis and Herat provinces
        of
        Afghanistan))}.
        .
        .
        The strategic area was
        designated and controlled, from
        early on,
        during
        Islamic rules
        of
        early Arab administrators,
        who were
        closely
        linked and guided under the
        direct
        legal codes and religious orders
        of
        the
        Khalif
        of
        Baghdad before the establishment
        of
        the
        locally-based dynasty
        of
        the
        Muslim Saminid’s rules ((829- 999))
        and
        many others who
        rose and followed
        the very
        same
        highly mixed conservative bastions
        in and around 
        the region, at large.
        .
        The vibrant religious and cultural establishments
        effectively; but, gradually loosened and replaced Arab’s
        direct rules- nevertheless, they all were still cohesively pledging allegiance
        to
        the
        Khalif,
        at least,
        nominally up until early 1200’s A.D..

      *****Just to add and remind that;

      ((“at hearts”)),
      with its own
      traditionally-strong

        and
        logically try to make a sense out
        of
        the two, then it
        would have had,
        ((“warm-heartedly”)),
        meant
        to
        address it all, as
        a
        respectful allusion
        to
        the
        “FAR-Eastern early Islamic jarring Frontiers where
        the
        Roosters would be metaphorically
        calling
        for
        the
        Muslim devotees,
        ((right at the onset of each twilight phase),
        to
        wake up, rise and/or come to join

      It was probably
      linguistically and religiously widely-known during and after the early Islamic expansions
      of
      mid 700’s A.D.
      which then gradually came to prominence
      and
      kept spreading farther across those
      geographically-huge areas that included 
      various major
      regional ancient cultural centers
      of
      the
      cities, towns and villages

    .
    After
    the
    defeat of the
    Chinese Tang Empire
    in
    750-51 A.D.
    .
    .
    {((right at the junction? of the power transfer from
    Amaweeds dynasty
    to
    Abahseeds dynasty
    in
    Baghdad))}
    .
    .
    those rugged and mostly desolate mountainous
    frontiers extended
    from
    rugged
    Kashmeer and Indus upper river valleys, all the way up,
    to
    eastern parts
    of
    Central Asia’s Turkistan region,
    ((next
    to
    modern
    Chinese and Mongolian borders)), where all
    have had been roughly
    classified and referred
    to,
    as
    “Khorasan’s Central Asian extensions”,
    during various historical phases
    since the arrival of Islam in those regions.
    .
    The main reason,
    for
    the
    symbolic choices
    of
    those 
    metaphoric literary works
    and
    verbal folkloric tales
    was
    that the
    whole region, from early on, was strictly
    administered
    from
    the, ((back then)), vibrant city outposts
    of
    Merv.
    .
    .
    {((which was located along the
    “Silk and Spice”
    routes”
    to
    China and India; with
    an
    estimated population of over
    a
    million
    in
    and
    around early 1200’s.

    The ruins

    in
    today’s
    South-East
    Turkmenistan; north of Bahdghis and Herat provinces

    Afghanistan))}.
    .
    .
    The area was controlled, from
    early on,
    by
    Islamic rules
    of
    early Arab administrators,
    who were closely
    linked and guided under the
    direct
    legal codes and religious orders
    of
    the
    Khalif
    of
    Baghdad before the establishment
    of
    the

    the
    Muslim Saminid’s rules ((829- 999))
    and
    many others who rose
    from the very
    same mixed conservative bastions
    of
    the region, at large which
    effectively but loosely replaced Arab’s
    direct rules- nevertheless, they all were still pledging allegiance and needed the approval
    of
    the
    Khalif ,
    at least,
    nominally.
