Boko Haram: Behind the Rise of Nigeria's Armed Group




An investigation into the origins and ideology of the rebel group and its bloody rise.


Since 2010, people in northeastern Nigeria have lived in constant fear of being attacked.
In the past years, Nigeria's rebel group Boko Haram  has repeatedly attacked schools, churches, mosques and markets, but state institutions such as police stations and military facilities have remained primary targets.

The group provoked global outrage in April 2014 when they kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, northeastern Nigeria. The kidnapping received global condemnation and sparked the solidarity campaign #BringBackOurGirls.
