Terror and Northern Nigeria: Adopting New Approaches Against a Familiar Enemy - Olojo, Akinola (Time for a New Approach on Terror in Africa?)
This book and the chapter on Nigeria in particular, is an attempt to capture the debates on the status of terror in Africa. It is also an endeavour to make policy makers more aware of the multiple faces of insurgent or terrorist groups on the continent. Attention is drawn to the local roles of insurgent groups in terms of security, justice, social welfare and economic leverage, and the failure of the local state to deliver on these same issues.
