Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami Pakistan is a militant group formed in Pakistan in early 2025, led by Amir Ghazi Shahabuddin.[1] The group is suspected to have historical links to Harakat-i Inqilab-i Islami, an Afghan faction active during the Soviet–Afghan War. The group vowed to fight against the Pakistani state and establish an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan-style government.
Unverified reports also suggest possible ties to Al-Qaeda.[2][3]
Lashkar-e-Islam announced the formation of an alliance, "Ittihad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan", with two other factions of the Pakistani Taliban, Hafiz Gul Bahadur and the recently formed, Harakat-e-Inqilab-e-Islami, The Khorasan Diary reported on April 12. The alliance will be represented by "Sadaye Ghazwat-ul-Hind" as its media mouthpiece, with Mahmud-ul-Hasan as its ‘spokesperson’. The statement calls on other Pakistani jihadist factions to join, aiming to "organize jihad among the Mujahideen".[4][5][6]
