Numerous questions followed, among them: Where did Boko Haram come from? What explains the rise of this militant Islamic group and its increasingly violent actions? What is its relationship to the Islamic State? Jacob Zenn addresses these questions in his detailed chronicle of the foundation of Boko Haram, its strategy and tactics, and its evolution as a global Jihadist movement. Drawing on exclusive interviews and extensive primary sources in Arabic and Hausa, Zenn reveals the group's inner workings and the dynamics of its trajectory UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626378933 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626378933 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626378933/original ER -
