| NK-nAfXTR4JGxXnWVte3izKiq | Organization:notes | Boko Haram (BH) is a Salafist jihadist group operating in northern Nigeria whose ultimate objective is to overthrow the Nigerian government and implement Sharia Law. The group desires a political system in Nigeria modeled after how the Taliban ruled in Afghanistan. Its tactics include small arms attacks, the use of improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, and kidnappings. BH conducted a suicide bomb attack against the United Nations compound in Abuja, Nigeria in August 2011, killing 23 people. In April 2014, BH kidnapped a Canadian nun and two Italian priests in Cameroon. A few days later, in Nigeria, the group kidnapped 276 schoolgirls. In 2015, BH leader Abubakar Shekau pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and BH renamed itself the "Islamic States West Africa Province". However, the Islamic State appointed Abu Musab al-Barnawi as leader of Islamic States West Africa Province, resulting in the formation of two rival factions; one loyal to Shekau operating under the BH banner, and the other (Islamic States West Africa Province) led by Barnawi. During the first nine months of 2016, BH was responsible for nearly 400 deaths in Nigeria, and approximately 850 deaths in 2017. In many of its attacks BH used children, particularly young girls, as suicide bombers. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-18-boko-haram | |||||
