Guterres warns of ISIS in Libya merging with criminal networks in Sahel region
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned of an attempt by ISIS to merge with transboundary organized crime networks involved in arms and goods smuggling and the transport of fighters. Guterres submitted the twenty-first report to the UN Security Council on the threat posed by ISIS to international peace and security and the efforts of the United Nations to support countries in combating this threat. In his report sent to the Council in early August, Guterres confirmed that the organization's operational isolation was significant, but that it was attempting to maintain a foothold through criminal networks. This was revealed by seven arrests made by Libyan authorities in 2025, targeting individuals linked to the organization's logistical and financial networks in the Sahel region.
