Diametric Splintering

The fragmentation of militant groups based on conflicting strategic goals—specifically localized "nationalist" insurgency vs. transnational "caliphate" objectives.

Organizations like Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) served as a transitional bridge for militants defecting from the TTP’s tribal-centric model to the transnational vision of ISKP.
