Where the main jihadist groups based?

Where the main jihadist groups based?
Jihadist groups are spread throughout Africa, the Middle East, and in parts of Asia. Some have have connections to al-Qaeda, others don't. But they all share the common goal of creating an Islamist state through violence.
The situation on the ground is dynamic and the location and strength of these groups is constantly changing, as the Isis example shows. These groups often carry out activities outside of the areas shaded on the map below and there are many smaller groups or factions we have not shown, with similar aims.
