A charity known as İMKANDER has praised Doku Umarov, the former emir of the Islamic Caucasus Emirate whose death was announced by the jihadist group just last week, during recent rallies in several Turkish cities.
The rallies, which took place on March 21 "in several cities," including at the "Fatih Mosque in Istanbul," were attended by "thousands of Muslims," according to Kavkaz Center, a media outlet for the Islamic Caucasus Emirate. İMKANDER released several photographs of the rallies as well as a description of the events on its Turkish-language website.
Photographs show hundreds, if not thousands of people, including women and children, attending the rallies. Many are waving the black banner of jihad. Professionally made banners with İMKANDER's name as well as with images of Doku Umarov are seen throughout the rally.
Photographs of other rallies organized by İMKANDER, with hundreds of people in attendance, were also taken at Ankara, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaras, Diyarbakir, and Eskisehir.
İMKANDER, which runs an English-language website where it prominently solicits donations, is clearly supportive of the al Qaeda-linked Islamic Caucasus Emirate. The Turkish charity was "founded in 2009 in order to help the refugees and asylum seekers who have been the victims of the ongoing wars and the occupations, particularly in Caucasus and generally in the whole İslamic world," the NGO says on its 'About' page on its English-language website.
İMKANDER declaries that it is aiding 150 families "at 98 houses," presumably inside Turkey.
"Almost all of these families are the wives of martyrs and the fighters, including their orphans," the group claims.
