AQIM is a militant Sunni Islamist extremist group which originated as the Groupe Islamique Armeé (Armed Islamic Group or GIA), an armed Islamist resistance movement to the secular Algerian government. In 1998, a splinter of the GIA declared its independence from the original group, believing the GIA's brutal tactics were hurting the Islamist cause. The Groupe salafiste pour la prédication et le combat (Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC), as the new group named itself, gained support from the Algerian population by vowing to continue fighting the government while avoiding the indiscriminate killing of civilians. The GSPC officially merged with Al Qaida in September 2006, subsequently changing its name to AQIM, and announcing the name change in January 2007. Since its merger with Al Qaida, AQIM has also adopted a global jihad ideology, employing conventional terrorist tactics including guerilla-style ambushes and the use of improvised explosive devices against military personnel and truck bombs against government targets, in Algeria and West African countries. In 2016, 29 people were killed, including six Canadians, in an AQIM attack on a hotel in Burkina Faso. In March 2017, AQIM's Mali-based affiliate, Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), was formed. On March 2, 2018, a coordinated attack by JNIM on the army headquarters and the French Embassy in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso's capital, killed at least eight people and wounding more than 80 others. In January 2019, AQIM claimed responsibility for an attack on United Nations camp at Aguelhok in northern Mali, killing ten peacekeepers and wounding 25 others. AQIM is still active and continues its terrorist activities through armed attacks.
