Jama'at Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (Arabic: جماعة نصرة الإسلام والمسلمين, JNIM; French: Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans, GSIM;[9] lit. 'Support Group for Islam and Muslims') is a Salafi Jihadist[10][11][12] organisation in the Maghreb and West Africa formed by the merger of Ansar Dine, the Macina Liberation Front, al-Mourabitoun and the Saharan branch of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (a militant wing of Al-Qaeda).[13] Its leaders swore allegiance to Ayman al-Zawahiri.[14]
In 2022, The Economist noted that JNIM was the fastest-growing terrorist group globally at the moment.[15]
