Contrary to the Anti -Terrorism operations, the Boko Haram organization is still a serious threat to security in the most densely populated country in Africa – Nigeria.
“Boko Haram” has been operating since the beginning of the 2000s.
Since 2009, over 20 thousand people have become victims of an extremist of the organization.
“Boko Haram” since 2015 has also made attacks on neighboring countries – Cameroon, Chad and Niger. In the area of Lake Chad, at least two thousand people became victims of terrorists.
Due to terrorist attacks and clashes in Nigeria, hundreds of thousands were forced to leave their homes.
