- Every year, Nigeria's Boko Haram, which has gained a foothold in the neighboring African countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger, appears to be growing stronger.
- Suicide bombings and other deadly attacks committed by Boko Haram terrorists over the past decade have claimed the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people, while more than two million others have been displaced.
- Nigeria's government has proved itself to be incompetent at best, and at worst, complicit in the attacks."
- "The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), for example, gives billions of dollars in aid to northeastern Nigeria. The problem is that aid, which helps fix small amounts of damage, is not a sufficient answer. As long as groups such as Boko Haram are able to keep destroying whole villages and infrastructure -- while devastating populations -- NGOs will never be able to keep up." — International Christian Concern; August 13, 2019.

Contrary to initial and subsequent assessments, however, the terrorist

not to be easily defeated. On the contrary, every year, the jihadist
group, which has gained a foothold in the neighboring African countries
of Cameroon, Chad and Niger, appears to be growing stronger.

These figures do not even include the thousands of women and children
abducted, some of whom, according to the Counter Extremism Project
(CEP), "have been forced to carry out suicide missions."
