Boko Haram’s terror ripples through the region
Read the report: http://www.internal-displacement.org/publications/2015/boko-harams-terror-ripples-through-the-region
Dear Forced,
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) has the pleasure of sharing with you its latest update on the internal displacement crisis in and around north-east Nigeria as well as the actions president-elect Buhari should prioritise when he takes office in May.
The report outlines the massive internal displacement caused by militant group Boko Haram not only in north-east Nigeria, ground zero of the crisis, but also by waves of attacks carried out in neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger. The effects of the crisis are reverberating across the wider Sahel, a region suffering chronic levels of malnutrition.
Marking one year since Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls from Chibok, the report also highlights how gender is an increasingly significant component of the group's tactics, messaging and violence and how large-scale abductions have escalated over the past year.
I remain at your disposal should you have any comments or questions.
Best regards,
Elizabeth J. Rushing
Regional Analyst for west Africa
