The United States is taking action today to advance the mission of the Counter ISIS Finance Group (CIFG), which supports international efforts to curb financing of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) worldwide. Against the backdrop of the 20th meeting of the CIFG, the United States is designating three individuals in a network associated with expanded ISIS activities in Africa.
These individuals are key financiers and enablers of ISIS activities across Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa. They serve as critical links between far-flung ISIS operations, allowing ISIS leadership to leverage each affiliate’s capabilities to undermine peace and security in the region. Their destabilizing impact spans much of Sub-Saharan Africa, which underscores the need for the international community to continue to work together to share information on transnational ISIS networks, their evolving financial methods, and measures to combat them.
