Az-Zallaqa Foundation

Az-Zallaqa Foundation (Arabic: مؤسسة الزلاقة, romanized: Muʼassasat al-Zalāqah) is a propaganda media foundation for the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist organization Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin.

Az-Zallaqa was established in 2017, first documenting attacks by JNIM militants in Mali against a United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali Super Camp at Timbuktu Military Airport with mortars known as the 2017 Timbuktu attack.

[1] Since the establishment of the foundation, it has been the main outlet for JNIM's propaganda and news alerts online.

[2][3] The foundation also releases content alongside Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb's media outlet, Al-Andalus Foundation, using an Al-Qaeda affiliated dissemination organization, Al-Ezza.

[5] On August 2024, Az-Zallaqa made a video announcement about the kidnapping of two Russian nationals in Niger, one of them being a geologist who worked for a Russian company.
