2) But the front's military operations decreased and weakened a lot after 1991, so the arena needed a new movement that would restore vitality to the jihadi scene, so the Abu Sayyaf Jihadi Group rose after 1991, and it was established by Abu Sayyaf
3) Abu Sayyaf was a Filipino of Arab origins, and he participated in the Afghan jihad and mixed with the Arab mujahideen; so he gained from his participation in the Afghan jihad a great jihad experience, so he revived the jihad in the south of the #Philippines
4) (In Islamic Mindanao region) and carried out daring military operations and focused on kidnapping Western experts, spies, and tourists, and spreading terror, and this led to the flight of companies (Western and local) from Muslim regions, and this led to the failure
5) (or disruption) of the Christian government’s project aimed at changing the demographic Population in the #Mindanao region by settling vast numbers of Christians in the north so that Muslims would become a minority.

7)The notorious Srouri (Picture below) Abdullah Al-Rayyis offered financial support to them in exchange for forming a joint committee to guide and support the Abu Sayyaf group (To change it according to the whims of Srouris),
8) and that was within 1994, and a split occurred in the group in 1998 after the killing of Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani (Abu Sayyaf) (Picture below), and the Sururi movement tried, as usual, to dominate the Abu Sayyaf group, but this did not happen to them.
9) However, years later, the Abu Sayyaf group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, which is called Islamic State in East #Asia, while the Srouris linger in the jails of their Saudi benefactors after being disposed of.
