Overview

Boko Haram analyzes the activities and atrocities of Nigeria’s Jihadi terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the context of global religious fundamentalism and extremism. The book traces the early beginnings of the religious sect, the conversion of its leader to radical Islam in 2002, and the group’s campaign of violence beginning in 2009 and continuing to the present.



The group’s attacks against a variety of targets are examined in detail as are their general tactics and strategies. The Nigerian government response is also examined in order to provide critical lessons to counterterrorism planners, policy and government officials, and scholars. The initial military response was hampered by capability and legislative constraints including a lack of arms and ammunition, a lack of modern counterterrorism equipment, training gaps, leadership issues, intelligence gaps, politicization of the conflict, and limited support to the Nigerian military by the international community.



Boko Haram looks at the work that has been done thus far, and what work needs to continue, to make gains to combat, marginalize, and ultimately defeat Boko Haram and resolve the conflict facing Nigeria.



Key features:







  • Outlines the history of Boko Haram and its emergence in Nigeria






  • Provides the latest developments on fundamentalism in Nigeria, the growth of Boko Haram and the government response






  • Focuses on the attacks, attack methodology and targeting of Boko Haram, addressing best-practice countermeasures






  • Examines Boko Haram’s ties to other Islamist groups including ISIL/ISIS and others






  • Details the importance for international cooperation in responding to Boko Haram’s activities and threats.
