Ahmadi State in Majatra (ASIM) and its role in Majatra
October, 5560
When discussing Ahmadi extremism and modern day terrorism, the first groups that come to mind are the Ahmadi State in Majatra (ASIM), the Ahmadi State in Kafuristan (ASIK) and the variety of other "Ahmadi States" that have existed. The collapse of the Razamid Caliphate, in what is modern day Kafuristan, is the reason that many of these more radical elements spawned. The re-creation of a modern day caliphate and its success generated a revival of a blend of radical Ahmadism, largely benefited by wealthy Abadi backers and picked up by Israist theologians and followers. Waddaah ibn Awad al-Salah, the scholar who is responsible for Salahism, a socio-religious revivalist movement, which is considered by both Abadi and Israist theologians to be a "puritan" or "ultra-orthodox" sect of Ahmadism has been on the rise since the 29th century. It has found itself at the center of many Ahmadi movements that had espoused the use of jihad or "struggle", sometimes known as "holy war" to achieve its means of implementing nmus or Ahmadi holy law and achieving success through activity in politics and even armed struggle when necessary. A unique component is that both Israist and Abadi followers have joined the movement which has formed a sort've syncretic blend between the two sects of Ahmadism; this includes strict adherence to the Book of Bliss and rejection of later religious interpretations of Ahmadi jurist and scholars. The movement in recent decades has been picked up by the leaders and clerics associated with the Ahmadi State in Majatra, and it's primary off-shoot the Ahmadi State in Kafuristan, including the spiritual founder of the original Ahmadi State in Majatra: Jaasir al-Nawaz, who was never seen or found following the collapse of the various Ahmadi States in Majatra or Kafuristan.
The current Ahmadi State in Majatra is one of the largest, most complex trans-national terrorist organizations that the world has ever seen and has sub-groups in multiple countries, originally the groups operated as a loose confederation but over the past several decades the groups have been far more coordinated. For instance while a lot of the groups continue to refer to themselves as "Ahmadi State in Country", officially they are termed as the "Ahmadi State in Majatra - Kafuristan Province" or "Ahmadi State in Majatra - Badara Province", etc. The recent "destruction" of the Ahmadi State in Solentia (ASIS) which was heralded by the then-government in Tahkghisi, was short lived as a new leader has risen up in the formers place. According to the Ministry of Information of the Ahmadi State in Majatra they claim a number of provinces: the Kafuristan Province, the Quanzar Province, Solentia Province, Jakania Province, Cobura Province, Barmenistan Province. The other provinces in Majatra have largely been ignored or operations limited either through effective countering or by not attempting to draw attention outside of the areas of capable operation. The current "Caliph" of the Ahmadi State is Muthanna al-Sayed who has been the Caliph, often referred to as the "Leader" as to avoid the usage of the term Caliph, since 5530 when the previous Caliph, and former leader Arshad el-Mahdavi was killed in a drone strike in Kafuristan. The new Caliph remains illusive and the Kafuri General Intelligence Directorate believes that he has taken up residence in several nations as a means to avoid capture; is it known that he is a Badaran citizen and is believed to have be born with the same name but cooperation with the Badaran government has been limited due to the on-going domestic situation.
The leader of ASIM has continued to prove himself to be an effective leader in bringing several major groups to cooperate such as the Supreme Ahmadi Council and the Majatran Mujahideen in Kafuristan, one of the largest militant groups currently operational in Kafuristan and Southeast Majatra. In recent years there has been speculation that al-Sayed has traveled to several locations throughout the globe to take part in meetings with officials and clerics associated with a variety of movements. According to the General Intelligence Bureau of Mina it is speculated that al-Sayed was in Mina as early as a year ago to meet with officials of the Nefa Ahmadi Democratic Republic. Regardless of the leaders visit, ASIM remains a potent combatant in the region and despite religious divides and even occasional political divides, and has an estimated strength of over 500,000 fighters across a variety of formations and sub-groups, and can potentially call upon another 250,000 across a number of allied groups. They also have access to a wide variety of small arms, anti-tank, anti-air and anti-personnel munitions, including technicals, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. In recent years these groups have focused on the black market targeting both unarmed and armed UAVs, and the rare conventional rocket artillery and ballistic missiles.
