First time Baghdadi is seen since the Mosul mosque sermon in July, 2014.

Baghdadi had been badly injured in an air strike in 2015. Photo suggests he’s fully recovered.

The fact that the folder says Tunis and not Wilayat Tunis, makes the one that says Wilayat Turkiya more legit and not just superfluous propaganda, but rather a message of what’s to come. Essentially calling his shot. https://t.co/iU2Nn6nvuf

Baghdadi also talks about Sudan and al-Bashir.
Al-Baghdadi has officially accepted the bid of Sri Lanka fighters. This basically means that NTJ = IS franchise in Sri Lanka.
Baghdadi also accepted the pledge of Mali franchise.
Some parts of the video are missing and instead there is only audio, indicating that they may have been added later.

Pro-IS channels are spreading this translated statement from Amaq on new al-Baghdadi video.

The introduction of the term Wilāyat-e-Turkiye in the new Baghdadi video is pretty significant. It indicates that IS has developed enough presence in Turkey to call it a Wilāyat, which also means an emir likely already exists for this Wilāyat.
