However, Daesh has dispersed into a cellular structure in order to maintain insurgency activity.</p><p>Daesh has also attempted to build a global network of affiliates, branches and sympathisers, the strength of which varies country to country. In many countries, Daesh's local network will continue to pose an enduring threat to regional stability. It will likely be limited to terrorist-type activity due to concerted counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations and competition with other militant groups.</p> question first answered 12/02/2019 17:14:36 answering member 1544
