Abdul Qadir Mumin, the leader of the Daesh group, is believed to be the strongman of the organization despite lacking an official title. He is considered to be running Daesh's general directorate of provinces from Somalia and is described as the most important and powerful person within the group. Mumin controls a small territory but has a big appeal, distributing volunteers and money. He also finances the Ugandan rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces and is involved in sending money to various countries. Mumin's rise to power reflects the shifting dynamics within Daesh and its strategic shift toward Africa.
