  • Boko Haram was founded in 2002 in Nigeria. It initially focused on opposing Western-style education.

    It began its military operations in 2009 and has killed at least 17000 civilians since then.

    It promotes a version of Islam which makes it "haram" (forbidden) for Muslims to be a part of any political/social activity which has anything to do with the West.

    Boko Haram’s xenophobia

  • Boko Haram's official name is Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, which in Arabic means "people committed to the propagation of the Prophet's teachings and Jihad".

  • 276 female students were kidnapped on 14-15 April 2014, from a school in Nigeria. Boko Haram claimed responsibility for this event.

    It was feared that the kidnappings were aimed at using the targets for human trafficking and as a ploy to browbeat the "civilian population into resistance."

    The Nigerian police had offered 50 million Naira ($300,000) for any leads.

  • According to experts, a slow international response to Boko Haram's insurgency in Nigeria has added to its escalation from a group of raiding militants into an Islamist insurgency and a much greater threat.

    Former U.S. ambassador Robin Sanders claimed that Nigerian military lacked the experience and equipment to fight the Boko Haram and that international response was not solely to be blamed.
