On 7 September, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM)-linked media accounts published a eulogy/biographical note for the Libyan AQIM commander Miloud Sadaga. Sadaga was originally from Derna and joined AQIM in 2008, going on to fight in Aurès and Kabylia, and then returned and fought against the LNA, where he died, under the ‘banner of Ansar al-Shaira’.
