Triumphant Iraqi soldiers parade the streets of Mosul as Raqqa lies in ruins.
Once ruling an area the size of the UK, ISIS now clings on to just 10 per cent of its failed proto-state.
Experts believe it will reincarnate as an underground insurgency while gathering support in Africa – but ISIS leaders are far from lowering the black flag of the Caliphate.
New propaganda claims the group is ‘stronger than ever before’ because a generation of young boys is ready and willing to fight to the death.
The group’s latest al-naba newsletter released online on Thursday claims ‘many cities’ across Syria and Iraq are ‘filled with faithful believers’.
The editorial claims the Caliphate ‘is stronger than it was at the first stage’ because it has ‘generations ready to fight.’
The group has long emphasised the training of young boys, which it calls ‘cubs’, often showing them carrying out shootings and beheadings in gruesome propaganda videos.
