  • Lessons from Colombia for Curtailing the Boko Haram Insurgency in Nigeria
    Lessons From Colombia For Curtailing The Boko Haram Insurgency In Nigeria BY AFEIKHENA JEROME igeria is a highly complex and ethnically diverse country, with over 400 ethnic groups. This diversity is played out in the way the country is bifurcated along the lines of reli- Ngion, language, culture, ethnicity and regional identity. The population of about 178.5 million people in 2014 is made up of Christians and Muslims in equal measures of about 50 percent each, but including many who embrace traditional religions as well. The country has continued to experience serious and violent ethno-communal conflicts since independence in 1960, including the bloody and deadly thirty month fratricidal Civil War (also known as the Nigerian-Biafran war, 1967-70) when the eastern region of Biafra declared its seces- sion and which claimed more than one million lives. The most prominent of these conflicts recently pitch Muslims against Christians in a dangerous convergence of religion, ethnicity and politics. The first and most dramatic eruption in a series of recent religious disturbances was the Maitatsine uprising in Kano in December 1980, in which about 4,177 died. While the exact number of conflicts in Nigeria is unknown, because of a lack of reliable sta- tistical data, it is estimated that about 40 percent of all conflicts have taken place since the coun- try’s return to civilian rule in 1999.1 The increasing wave of violent conflicts across Nigeria under the current democratic regime is no doubt partly a direct consequence of the activities of ethno- communal groups seeking self-determination in their “homelands,” and of their surrogate ethnic militias that have assumed prominence since the last quarter of 2000.

Some of these characteristics are either ascribed or achieved. Life chances or the ability to improve one’s quality of life depends on the intersectionality of the different forms of oppression. Education which is one important means to improve life chances has often been targeted by religious and cultural ideology to the extent that girls are severely punished for defying restrictions on women’s education.

  • Nigeria's Boko Haram
    Nigeria’s Boko Haram: Frequently Asked Questions Lauren Ploch Blanchard Specialist in African Affairs March 29, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43558 Nigeria’s Boko Haram: Frequently Asked Questions Summary Boko Haram, a violent Nigerian Islamist movement, has grown increasingly active and deadly in its attacks against state and civilian targets in recent years, drawing on a narrative of victimization and vengeance for state abuses to elicit recruits and sympathizers. The group’s April 2014 abduction of almost 300 schoolgirls drew particular international attention, including from the Obama Administration and Members of Congress. Its high death toll and its pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS) in March 2015 have further raised the concern of U.S. policy makers. The group has sought to rebrand itself as the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), though it remains more popularly known by its original nickname. The State Department has named several individuals linked to Boko Haram, including its leader, Abubakar Shekau, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, and the group was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the State Department in November 2013. More than 15,000 people are estimated to have been killed by Boko Haram, including more than 6,000 in 2015 alone, making it one of world’s deadliest terrorist groups. By U.N. estimates, roughly 2.8 million people have been displaced by Boko Haram-related violence in the Lake Chad Basin region, where approximately 5.6 million are in need of emergency food aid.

    Submission by Human Rights Watch to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women November 2016 We write in advance of your upcoming pre-sessional review of the Nigeria government’s compliance with the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. This submission relates to Articles 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 14 of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. It proposes issues and questions that Committee members may wish to raise with the government while reviewing its compliance with these articles. Evidence included in this submission is based in part on Human Rights Watch’s research into Boko Haram violence against women and girls in northeast Nigeria. This research is based on interviews with more than 46 witnesses and victims of Boko Haram abductions in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states, including with girls who escaped the April 2014 abduction of 276 girls from Chibok secondary school, as well as social workers, members of Nigerian and international nongovernmental organizations, diplomats, journalists, religious leaders, and state and federal government officials.1 This submission is also based on research conducted into the use of schools for military purposes and attacks on students, teachers, education workers, and schools in northeast Nigeria. This research included interviews with 215 people–including 99 teachers, 31 students, 36 parents, and 25 school administrators in Borno, Yobe, and Kano states between 2009 and February 2016.2 This submission is also based on Human

  • NGA-Kwaya Kusar to Translate EN
    Situation Report on Kwaya Kusar Local Government Area of Borno State, 2015-2016 By Dr. Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos Senior Researcher, Institut de recherche pour le développement, Paris Due to the fighting between Boko Haram and the security forces, Kwaya Kusar is the only local government area in Nigeria that researchers of the "Invisible Violence" project were not able to visit. Failing any better option, the following report is consequently based on interviews undertaken in Maiduguri in October 2015 and May 2016, with residents originating from Kwaya Kusar, in the South West of Borno State, comprising two civil servants from the ministry for public works, an officer from the immigration department and a school teacher born in the neighbouring local government area of Hawul. Their testimonies show that, despite a bank attack which was without victims in 2012, the local area was "miraculously" spared by the violence which struck the rest of the region.1 In late 2015, the local government area was one of the only ones in Borno State which continued to operate, with Maiduguri, Bayo, Biu and, according to contested official statements, Hawul, Chibok, Gubio, Jere and Kaga. In the neighbouring local government area of Shani, which included Kwaya Kusar until its partition in 1996, civil servants had not returned since the Emir fled after escaping an ambush in 2014. In the suburbs of Maiduguri, even the administrative centre of the local government area of Jere had not reopened. The South East of Borno was still prey to chaos despite the reassuring statements made by the army about the situation in Bama, Gwoza and Chibok.

  • Women As Symbols and Swords in Boko Haram's Terror
    AUTHOR Hilary Matfess Women and children in the Fufore Camp for internally displaced people in Nigeria. 104 | FEATURES PRISM 6, NO. 1 Women as Symbols and Swords in Boko Haram's Terror BY MIA BLOOM AND HILARY MATFESS1 n June 2014, a middle-aged woman riding a motorcycle approached the military barracks in the North Eastern Nigerian city of Gombe. While being searched at the military checkpoint, Ishe detonated the explosives strapped to her body, ending her life and killing a soldier in the process. With this act, a new chapter in the destructive history of Boko Haram began: the group joined the ranks of terrorist groups around the world that have incorporated women into their organizational profiles. Since the first attack, women and young girls (between the ages of 7 and 17) have been coerced into targeting civilians at markets, bus depots, and mosques. The 89 attacks documented between June 2014 and January 2016, mostly of civilian soft targets, are responsible for more than 1,200 deaths and an even greater number of injuries. The adoption of female sui- cide bombers is not especially surprising as an operational adaptation to increased state surveil- lance of the group’s activities; it has been a tactic adopted by secular and religious terrorist groups from Sri Lanka to Syria. However, Boko Haram depends on female operatives disproportionately, relative to similar insurgencies; for example, the Tamil Tigers used 46 women over the course of 10 years, whereas Boko Haram has deployed more than 90 women in a little over a year and a half.2 Though Boko Haram is known to be the most significant source of violence in Nigeria since the transition to democracy in 1999, the group’s abuses against women have also earned it inter- national notoriety.
