Описание: Boko Haram and the crisis in Nigeria, explained [2021]
Welcome to SiachenX files Explained.
Here's what you need to know about Boko Haram, the Islamist group terrorizing northeast Africa's largest democracy.
During the last week of the year 2020, Islamist militants captured an army base in Borno, Nigeria,
and massacred hundreds of civilians in nearby towns.
These satellite images show the aftermath of the violence.
It was part of a string of escalating attacks by Boko Haram — the same group that kidnapped more than 270 high school students on 14th April 2014 and killed all the 1000 boys because they were studying in Western Schools.
Boko Haram which means” against western Thoughts” was founded in 2001.
But became much more violent starting in 2009. In the past
few years, the attacks have grown increasingly frequent and brutal, threatening to destabilize
Africa’s most populous country. Boko Haram wants to replace Nigeria’s democratic government with an extremist Islamic theocracy.
Still, because they operate out of the northeastern states, most of their victims have been the poorer, Muslim communities that live there.
