The Boko Haram phenomenon between the national and the transnational

Book summaryIn the space of a little more than ten years the Boko Haram terrorist movement has managed to position itself as one of the most violent if not the most violent of the criminal organizations with an Islamist resonance on the African continent in its sub-Saharan part. Acting mainly in the Lake Chad Basin region an area understood as a set of spaces conducive to the development of terrorism and other types of conflict Boko Haram has moved from a national configuration in Nigeria to a transnational and international reconfiguration and is thus carrying out terrorist acts in Cameroon Chad and Niger. In fact in its transnational mobilizations the Jama'attu Ahli Sunna Lidda Waati Wal Jihad alias Boko Haram is stirring up a constant stream of asymmetrical and criminal activities of symbolic polemical security and strategic bills that negatively impact the stability of the main states of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC).
