Abdul Qadir Mumin, identified by his orange henna-dyed beard and glasses, is believed to be the de facto leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) group, controlling its global network from Somalia. While the identity of the ISIS-designated caliph remains unclear, Mumin's longevity and operational influence make him a powerful figure within the organization.

While observers wonder who is behind IS-designated caliph Abou Hafs al-Hachimi al-Qourachi — the would-be leader of all Muslims — or whether such a person actually exists, Abdul Qadir Mumin may already be running IS’s general directorate of provinces from Somalia. “Somalia is important for financial reasons,” said Hamming. “We know that they send money to Congo, to Mozambique, to South Africa, to Yemen, to Afghanistan. So they have a good business model going.”
“He controls a small territory but has a big appeal. He distributes volunteers and money,” said a European intelligence official, who declined to be named, claiming that an IS attack in May in Mozambique “was carried out by Maghreb and African militants”. Especially because leaders of operationally active IS affiliates, such as IS-K in Afghanistan or ISWAP in western Africa, could lay claim to the position.
