TRANSFORMATION FROM ISLAMIC MOVEMENT TO TERRORIST ORGANIZATION CASE STUDY: BOKO HARAM
Abstract
The gap in Nigeria is making people tired of the government. A government that is perceived as unfair, and officials who are incompetent in handling and increasing corruption in Nigeria. The community is engaged in eradicating the government, and creating groups. Boko Haram is a Muslim-based group that originated in northern Nigeria. Boko Haram is a radical Islamic movement that reflects the history of Nigeria's bad governance and extreme poverty in the north. This movement is unique, combining sectarian agendas by using violence. The aim is to establish an Islamic state based on Sharia. This group started with an Islamic movement that spread propaganda, but all that changed in 2009 which made this group a violent terrorist group in Nigeria.
