Islamic State Releases Video on Training Camp in Somalia

The Long War Journal published on 25 April 2016 a piece titled "Islamic State Highlights 'First Camp of the Caliphate in Somalia'" by Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss.

It includes pictures from a video released by the Islamic State purporting to show just over a dozen fighters at a training camp in Somalia. The Islamic State is trying to develop a following in Somalia separate from the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab terrorist organization.
