Somalia has been one of the UN member countries who lingers from the presence of terrorist groups in its territory, that exert tremendous influence in the daily life of its society and economy. Al Shabaab is well known in the horn of Africa, particularly in Somalia, for its terrorist training and strong affiliation with other terrorist groups in Nigeria and Al-Qaeda. The Harakat Shabaab Al Mujahidin, also known as Al-Shabaab. has completely controlled the central and southern part of Somalia including some of its important sea ports, which are vital for the country’s economy. Although Ethiopian and Somali military forces attempted to rout the group in a two week war between December 2006 and January 2007, Al Shabaab, with its 14,500 militants, still continues to maintain control over strategic locations, not only in Somalia, but also throughout the horn of Africa. The paper delves into the recent events and attacks either undertaken or influenced by Al-Shabaab, including a snap shot of its threat to humanitarian aid personnel as well as the Africa Union troops who are desperately trying to lower the intensity of conflict along the Somalia Kenya border area and Al-Shabaab’s actions to secure financial resources.

Pomimo, że Państwo Islamskie jest obecnie jednym z największym zagrożeń dla bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego, to próby utworzenia quasi-państw przez dżihadystów, które można określić mianem „państw dżihadystycznych”, nie są nowym zjawiskiem. Na przestrzeni lat powstało wiele islamskich emiratów, państw islamskich i kalifatów, w tym m.in. Islamski Emirat Afganistanu czy Islamski Emirat Somalii. Celem artykułu jest określenie w jaki sposób struktury „państw dżihadystycznych” są w stanie dokonywać ekspansji, a także jakie są prognozy ich funkcjonowania w środowisku międzynarodowym. Artykuł opiera się zarówno na istniejących strukturach, jak i tych, które uległy dezintegracji, stworzonych przez Asz-Szabab, Boko Haram, Talibów oraz Państwo Islamskie. Współczesne środowisko międzynarodowe tworzy odpowiednie warunki nie tylko dla proliferacji ideologii dżihadyzmu, o czym świadczą liczne ataki terrorystyczne, ale także to do budowy quasi-państw. Wydaje się, że struktury formowane przez dżihadystów są coraz bardziej skoncentrowane na rozwoju administracji na okupowanych terytoriach. Jednakże istnieje szereg ograniczeń, uniemożliwiających długofalowe funkcjonowanie „państw dżihadystycznych”, dlatego żadne z dotychczas utworzonych nie przetrwało próby czasu.

Although the Islamic State is now one of the main threats to international security, the jihadists’ attempts to create quasi-states, which can be called “jihad-states” are not a new phenomenon. Over the years, a number of Islamic emirates, Islamic states and caliphates have been created, including Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, or Islamic Emirate of Somalia. The article aims to determine how the structure of “jihadi-states” are able to carry out the expansion, and what are the forecasts of their operational capabilities in the international environment. The article is based both on existing structures, and those that disintegrated, created by Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Taliban and Islamic State. Contemporary international environment creates the right conditions for the proliferation of, not only the jihadism ideology, as evidenced by numerous terrorist attacks, but also for the construction of a quasi-states. It seems that the structures formed by the jihadists are increasingly focused on the administration development in the occupied territories. However, there are a number of limitations that prevent the long-term functioning of “jihadi-states” because none of the previously created survived the test of time.
