Al-Mourabitoun (Arabic: المرابطون, romanized: al-Murābiṭūn, lit. 'The Sentinels') was an African militant jihadist organization formed by a merger between Ahmed Ould Amer, a.k.a. Ahmed al-Tilemsi's Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa and Mokhtar Belmokhtar's Al-Mulathameen.[6] On 4 December 2015, it joined Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).[7] The group sought to implement Sharia law in Mali, Algeria, southwestern Libya, and Niger.[8]
On 2 March 2017, al-Mourabitoun's cells in Mali, along with those of Ansar Dine, Macina Liberation Front and the Saharan branch of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb merged into Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin,[5] the official branch of Al-Qaeda in Mali, after its leaders swore allegiance to Ayman al-Zawahiri.[9][10]
