"In Africa, Ansar al-Sharia
in Tunisia (AST) has been in
a state of flux, rebranding a substantial part of its network as Shabab al-Tawhid.
Analysis of AST members and supporters on social media shows significant
sympathies for the Islamic State, as well as some operational links, but the
organization has declined to endorse the declaration of the caliphate, despite
direct queries from Islamic State supporters online. Its official
statements have to some extent followed the lead of the official al Qaeda
affiliates (see more on this below). However, there have been reports of conflicting
views among the group's membership and top leaders, and it appears the
debate is still working itself out. The Islamic State counts numerous Tunisians
among its foreign fighters, including some linked to AST, and authorities claim
to have arrested 8,000 more who were trying to join the fight".
