20,000-30,000 Daesh fighters remain in Iraq, Syria-UN report

Between 20,000 and 30,000 Daesh fighters remain in Iraq and Syria despite the group’s defeat, according to a UN report released Monday.

The report by UN sanctions monitors estimates that between 20,000 and 30,000 individuals are equally distributed between the two countries.”
“Among these is still a significant component of the many thousands of active foreign terrorist fighters,” said the report.
The report added that between 3,000 and 4,000 Daesh militants were based in Libya. Most of the the group’s leaders have been relocated to Afghanistan.
The flow of foreigners leaving Daesh “remains lower than expected”

The flow of foreign fighters toward Daesh “has essentially come to a halt,” it added.

It is worth mentioning that the sanctions monitoring team submits independent reports every six months to the Security Council on the Daesh and Al-Qaeda, which are on the UN terrorist blacklist.
