JAMA'ATU AHLIS SUNNA LIDDA'AWATI WAL-JIHAD

Jama'atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad (Boko Haram), que en árabe significa “Personas comprometidas con las enseñanzas del Profeta para la propagación de la Yihad”, fue fundada en 2002, en Maiduguri (Nigeria), por el nigeriano Mohammed Yusuf (muerto) con el objetivo de apoyar la educación islámica y establecer un Estado islámico en Nigeria. En 2009, el grupo perpetró una serie de atentados contra las comisarías de policía y otros edificios públicos en Maiduguri, que llevaron al Gobierno de Nigeria a lanzar ataques contra el cuartel general del grupo, en los que Yusuf resultó muerto. Desde entonces, Boko Haram ha estado dirigida por Abubakar Mohammed Shekau (QDi.322) y ha emprendido una insurgencia violenta utilizando tácticas terroristas. El grupo tiene su base en la zona nororiental de Nigeria, pero también ha operado en el Camerún y es responsable de ataques y secuestros en esos dos países. Además, Boko Haram ha llevado a cabo actividades en el Chad y el Níger. Boko Haram ha mantenido relaciones con la Organización Al-Qaida en el Magreb Islámico (AQIM) (QDe.014) con fines de adiestramiento y apoyo material. Por ejemplo, Boko Haram obtuvo de Al-Qaida en el Magreb Islámico valiosos conocimientos sobre la construcción de artefactos explosivos improvisados. Varios miembros de Boko Haram combatieron junto a grupos afiliados a Al-Qaida en Malí en 2012 y 2013, antes de regresar a Nigeria con conocimientos especializados sobre terrorismo. Boko Haram es responsable de una serie de ataques terroristas de envergadura, incluida una ola de atentados con bombas en Kano (Nigeria), en enero de 2012, que dejó un saldo de más de 180 muertos en un solo día. Otro atentado grave fue el perpetrado con explosivos el 26 de agosto de 2011 contra la sede de las Naciones Unidas en Abuja, en el que murieron al menos 21 personas y decenas más resultaron heridas. El Grupo también fue responsable del ataque lanzado el 25 de diciembre de 2011 contra la Iglesia de Santa Teresa en Madalla (Nigeria), que dejó un saldo de por lo menos 37 muertos y cerca de 50 heridos. Desde el verano de 2012, Boko Haram ha emprendido una campaña de violencia contra las escuelas y los estudiantes de Nigeria. En junio de 2013, el grupo atacó escuelas en Maiduguri y Damaturu, en Nigeria, y dio muerte a por lo menos 22 niños; en julio, un ataque contra una escuela en la aldea nigeriana de Mamudo dejó un saldo de por lo menos 42 muertos, en su mayoría estudiantes. El 29 de septiembre de 2013, Boko Haram atacó una escuela agrícola en Yobe (Nigeria) y asesinó a balazos a 50 estudiantes que dormían en su dormitorio. El 14 de abril de 2014, Boko Haram secuestró a alrededor de 300 niñas de una escuela en el norte de Nigeria. Abubakar Mohammed Shekau reivindicó la autoría de los hechos, en un vídeo publicado por Boko Haram, y amenazó con vender a las niñas como esclavas. Posteriormente, el 5 de mayo de 2014, miembros de Boko Haram atacaron una base de operaciones de personal de rescate, y dieron muerte a otras 310 personas. En una declaración dada a conocer en noviembre de 2012, Abubakar Mohammed Shekau expresó la solidaridad de Boko Haram con los afiliados de Al-Qaida en el Afganistán, el Iraq, África Septentrional, Somalia y el Yemen, y alentó a los combatientes de toda África y de otras zonas a que siguieran lanzando ataques terroristas. Las declaraciones de Shekau para los medios de difusión se han publicado en foros extremistas violentos conocidos.

Boko Haram 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 now rules Afghanistan. Its tactics include small arms attacks, the use of improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, and kidnappings. Boko Haram conducted a suicide bomb attack against the United Nations compound in Abuja, Nigeria in August 2011, killing 23 people. In April 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped a Canadian nun and two Italian priests in Cameroon. A few days later, in Nigeria, the group kidnapped 276 schoolgirls. In 2015, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and Boko Haram 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 Boko Haram banner, and the other (Islamic States West Africa Province) led by Barnawi. During the first nine months of 2016, Boko Haram was responsible for nearly 400 deaths in Nigeria, and approximately 850 deaths in 2017. In many of its attacks Boko Haram used children, particularly young girls, as suicide bombers. Boko Haram also repeatedly targets farmers, loggers, and herders, accusing them of passing information about the group to soldiers and the militia fighting them. In November 2020, armed assailants on motorcycles took 50 farmers from a village in northeastern Nigeria, into a building where they slit their throats. Later, additional bodies were found nearby, bringing the total number of deceased to 76. In addition, the militants abducted about a dozen women from the village. The Shekau faction of Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the incident. In the most recent attack on August 12, 2023, Boko Haram militants rounded up 10 farmers and shot them dead while they were working in their field in the village of Maiwa, Borno.

Since summer 2012 Boko Haram has undertaken a campaign of violence against Nigerian schools and students. In Jun 2013, the group attacked schools in Maiduguri and Damaturu, Nigeria, killing at least 22 children; in July an attack on a school in the village of Mamudo, Nigeria killed at least 42 people, most of them students. On Sep 29 2013 Boko Haram attacked an agricultural school in Yobe, Nigeria, shooting dead 50 students in their dormitory as they slept.
