The primary objective of this book is to understand the nature of the Boko Haram insurgency in northeast Nigeria. Boko Haram's goal of an Islamic Caliphate, starting in the Borno State in the North East that will eventually cover the areas of the former Kanem-Borno Empire, is a rejection of the modern state system forced on it by the West. The central theme of this volume examines the relationship between the failure of the state-building project in Nigeria and the outbreak and nature of insurgency. At the heart of the Boko Haram phenomenon is a country racked with cleavages, making it hard for Nigeria to cohere as a modern state. Part I introduces this theme and places the Boko Haram insurgency in a historical context. There are, however, multiple cleavages in Nigeria - ethnic, regional, cultural, and religious - and Part II examines the different state-society dynamics fueling the conflict. Political grievances are common to every society; however, what gives Boko Haram the space to express such grievances through violence ? Importantly, this volume demonstrates that the insurgency is, in fact, a reflection of the hollowness within Nigeria's overall security. Part III looks at the responses to Boko Haram by Nigeria, neighboring states, and external actors. For Western actors, Boko Haram is seen as part of the 'global war on terror' and the fact that it has pledged allegiance to ISIS encourages this framing. However, as the chapters here discuss, this is an over-simplification of Boko Haram, and the West needs to address the multiple dimension of Boko Haram.

The study focused on the challenges that confront the Church as a result of the expression of Islamic extremism in the northern region of Nigeria. Due to the region's intractable violence, we examined the relationship that exists between Christians and Muslims as the adherents of the region's two major religions, and the Boko Haram, its origin, and modus operandi. To this end, we revealed that the relationship is characterised by suspicion, distrust, and hate which lead to violence and thus the destruction of lives and properties. The study's method was historical, expository and evaluative. We used qualitative methodology to generate the work's data which were the primary sources, while Church documents, Nigerian Catholic Bishops' communiques, library research and other relevant materials were the secondary sources. The findings revealed that the Church continues to face challenges that includes; Islamic fundamentalism that often give rise to violence in which lives and properties are often destroyed, denial of religious freedom, refusal of lands for building of Churches, Christian cemeteries, Mission Schools etc. We thus, recommended that government, religious and traditional leaders, and all stakeholders must make the deliberate concerted efforts toward realising the enabling environment that will bring peaceful co-existence in the region. We concluded that interreligious dialogue among Christians and Muslims in the region with the attention to dialogue of life among the commoners cannot be overemphasized.
