The text adds that “the Islamic State’s mujahedin are still waiting for the prophecy made by Almighty God to be fulfilled. Dabiq, Ghuta, Jerusalem and Rome. We will enter without false promises “the Europa Press news agency reported.

As the press release specifically mentions Di Maio, the Minister received immediate expressions of solidarity, notably from the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, and the High Representative for EU Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell.

“The conference against ISIS that he chaired was a success. The government remains committed to the fight against terrorism,” Draghi said.

In his Twitter account, Borrell found the threats against Di Maio “unacceptable” and made it clear that the EU “expresses its full solidarity and determination to continue to play its part in the global efforts to overcome the ideology of hate and intolerance of the Islamic State. “.

The June 28 meeting, held in Rome and chaired by Di Maio, marked the first face-to-face meeting in two years of the International Coalition Against Islamic State, an alliance that brings together more than 80 countries and was created to defeat extremist militias in the regions of Syria and Iraq.

The main decision of the Rome meeting was to shift attention and pressure to Africa in the face of the increased presence of Islamic State-linked jihadism in the region.
