ABSTRACT
Since 2009, after the violent death of the Boko Haram sect leader, Muhammad Yusuf
in Maiduguri following a clash of the sect with the Nigerian army, tensions have risen
in Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin countries of Niger, Chad and Cameroon, making
it a hot zone for terrorist and insurgent activities.
This research used the theories of frustration-aggression and state fragility to define
the causes and resultant effects of the security challenges plaguing one of the poorest
regions in the world. The shrinking of about 90% of the Lake Chad, which served as
a source of income for farmers, herders and fishermen were identified as a major
cause of poverty and the fight for resource control. The thesis made attempt to link
the rise of right wing Islamism as a response to governmental failure, weak security
architecture within countries and their borders as well as proximity of salafi-jihadi
terror cells.
The counter terrorism and counterinsurgency measures of the states were examined
to include military approaches such as the Multinational Joint Task Force and nonmilitary approach- enactment of the Anti-terrorism Act, Peace Talks and Operation
Safe Corridor. The successes and failures of these measures were discussed and the
thesis proposed that government addresses the underlying issues that makes it
possible for extremist groups to thrive. This include Unemployment, Education and
Poverty.
Keywords: Boko Haram, Lake Chad Basin, Salafi-Jihadism
