terrorist group Nigeria

Boko Haram is a militant Islamist group based in northeastern Nigeria, notorious for its violent insurgency against the Nigerian government and its campaign of terror against civilians. Since its emergence in the early 2000s, the group has engaged in widespread abductions, bombings, and other acts of terrorism, leading to a humanitarian crisis in the region. Officially designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. Secretary of State in 2013, Boko Haram's actions have drawn international condemnation and have prompted significant military and humanitarian responses from both the Nigerian government and global allies.
