BOKO HARAM Counterterrorism Efforts
Local Government Efforts • Northern States • Police and Security Units • Negotiations?
Federal Government • Anti – Terrorism Act 2011 • Defines terrorism • Defines acts of terrorism and makes them illegal • Violence • Not strong enough to win fights • Joint Task Force (JTF) • Not well-liked by people • Have killed innocents, just like Boko Haram
International Efforts • Training Assistance • U.S, U.K, Germany, India • United States Department of State • Officially declared Boko Haram as terrorist organization • World Council of Churches from Geneva and the Royal Aal Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought from Jourdan • Meetings in Nigeria • Recognize poor condition of country • Implement dialogue, not violence
Conclusion • Violence from JTF causes distrust between the people and the government • Outside countries are recently beginning to help combat growing threat • Economic and social conditions within Nigeria must be improved
