Abdul Qadir Mumin

British of Somali origin, major financier of the ADF/ISCAP on behalf of Islamic State._

Abdul Qadir Mumin finances the Ugandan rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – affiliated with Islamic State in the Democratic Republic of the Congo – "who now number between 1,000 and 1,500 people," several sources approached by France 24 stated. With Mumin's help, "they recently turned to jihad" in search of "radicalism, weapons and funding".

Born in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland in northeastern Somalia, Sheikh Mumin lived in Sweden before moving to England, where he acquired British nationality.

In London and Leicester, he forged a reputation in the early 2000s as a fiery preacher in radical mosques, as well as in online videos.

He reportedly burned his British passport upon arrival in Somalia, where he quickly became a propagandist for the Al-Qaeda-linked group Al-Shabaab, before announcing his defection to IS in 2015.
"He controls a small territory but has great appeal. He distributes volunteers and money," said a European intelligence official, who declined to be named, stating that an IS attack in Mozambique in May "had been carried out by North African and African militants".

Not sanctioned by the UN (2025), he is described by the organisation as a powerful unifier of radicalism. "Member States considered that Abdul Qadir Mumin (unlisted) remained at the head of ISIL (Daesh) in Somalia and the Al-Karrar office. Mumin operated from the strongholds of Buur Dhexaad, a strategic base secured by natural caves and defensive structures sheltered from air and ground offensives. The base also served as a command centre for the group's operations and hosted senior cadres," reads this UN document which you can consult here: https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/427/90/pdf/n2442790.pdf.
