“Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Lehbib Ould Ali Ould Said Ould Yumani, known as Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi, is a Sahrawi Islamic militant and leader of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.

History

al-Sahrawi was born in Laayoune, Western Sahara into part of a wealthy trading family that fled the city for refugee camps in Algeria.^[1]^[2] He joined the Polisario Front and received military training, but demobilised amid promises of a United Nations referendum on the status of the Western Sahara.^[2]

A former commander in al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, he was later part of the group that founded the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa in October 2011. While part of MUJWA/MUJAO, he was one of its most senior leaders, serving on its shura council and communicating with international media as MUJWA’s spokesman. By 2013, he was calling himself the leader of an organisation named the Mujahideen Shura Council in Gao, Mali. After MUJAO merged with Mokhtar Belmokhtar's Al-Mulathameen group in August 2013 to form Al-Mourabitoun, he was an important leader in Al-Murabitoun, later becoming its overall head.^[3]

On May 13, 2015, Abu Walid declared his allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and formed Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. Not all of Murabitoun accepted the move, with Mokhtar Belmokhtar denying that al-Murabitoun had pledged to Baghdadi, causing a split in the group. More than a year and a half later the allegiance was publicly accepted by IS's Amaq news agency.^[4]

In May 2016, he was reported to have issued threats against the Moroccan government.^[5]

In June 2017, al-Sahrawi accused the Imghad and Idaksahak communities of defending Niger and France and threatened retaliation against them.^[6]
