Islamic State-K x Taliban

The Islamic State-Corazon, as it is called in English for short, is ISIS-Q, the Afghan branch of the Islamic State. “Corazon” is the historical name for a region that currently includes parts of Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia.

The EI-K has cited some of the worst attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan in recent years.

The group massacred civilians in mosques, temples, squares and even hospitals in both countries, as well as carried out attacks from wards they considered anti-Muslim – especially Shiites.

Although the EI-K and the Taliban are fierce Sunni Islamist militants, they differ on rivals and on religious and strategic issues. Everyone claims to represent the real banner of jihad.

These differences have provoked bloody clashes, which the Taliban have won since 2019 as the EI-Corazon has not been able to control territory like its parent group in the Middle East.

As a sign of hostility between jihadist groups, ISIS reports refer to the Taliban as heretics.
