As I mentioned earlier, in Middle Eastern countries the government has very little control of it's own country outside of the main population centers. Terrorist groups will be a constant in the Middle East because of this. ISIS didn't suddenly come to life because US troops left, but instead because after we left Iraq had little control outside of it's major cities.

It's the same with Afghanistan. It's also the same with the Philippines. You can even argue it's similar to here in the US where are large areas with very little law enforcement, which is where most militias exist.
