Al-Qaeda’s evolution 25 years post 9/11
After 25 years since the September 11 attacks, Al-Qaeda is no longer the primary hub that planned the attacks, as its leadership has diminished and its capabilities weakened. However, the network remains active through its branches in regions such as Africa and Asia. Al-Qaeda, established in the late 1980s under the leadership of Osama bin Laden, carried out major operations like the Africa embassy bombings, with its peak being the September 11 attacks that killed approximately 3,000 people. After bin Laden's killing in 2011, Al-Qaeda's leadership declined, and it transformed into a decentralized network with its branches expanding their activities, especially in Somalia and the Sahel region, while continuing external threats. Meanwhile, ISIS rose to prominence and influenced the nature of terrorist threats; yet, Al-Qaeda still receives support and emphasizes its readiness to carry out external operations. Its ability to control large territories has decreased, and its role has shifted to a more diversified and widespread network of branches.
