A recent UN report said Ayman al-Zawahiri had increased outreach to al-Qaida supporters with a number of video and audio messages, “including his own statement promising that al-Qaida was equipped to compete with ISIL, in a bid to be recognised again as the leader of a global movement.” It said since August 2021, al-Zawahiri had appeared in eight videos.
