'How to Stop Boko Haram '
by Michele Fletcher
Summary:
Boko Haram developed from social unrest, poverty, and a strong disillusionment
with the corruption of the Nigerian government. Today, the same factors make
Boko Haram lethal.
Funding opportunities for Boko Haram such as kidnapping for ransom, smuggling,
and bank robberies arise because of poor security infrastructure and have
provided local means for funding and recruitment.
Moreover, high-level corruption and financial opacity breeds larger-scale
funding and support opportunities, contributing to illicit financial flows
facilitated by banks and corrupt individuals.
ICG: "Unless issues of bad governance and systemic corruption are addressed
vigorously and transparently, all other measures [to deal with Boko Haram] will
be nothing but stop-gaps."
