Nigeria: craintes grandissantes de liens entre les islamistes et Al-Qaïda 19.08.2011 - AFP
Une série d'indices fait craindre l'existence de liens entre une violente secte islamiste active au Nigeria et des groupes extérieurs, notamment la branche maghrébine d'Al-Qaïda, estiment des analystes. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas de preuves formelles, des diplomates occidentaux et des experts en matière de sécurité relèvent que les nombreuses attaques imputées à la secte Boko Haram, souvent à l'aide de bombes, sont de plus en plus sophistiquées. Ils se réfèrent aussi à des messages postés sur des sites djihadistes ... mehr
Auch für den heutigen Anschlag auf das UNO-Gebäude in Abuja zeichnet nach eigenen Angaben Boko Haram verantwortlich, wie ein Sprecher der Gruppe dem Hausa-sprachigen Programm der britischen BBC, das im muslimischen Norden Nigerias weitverbreitet ist, mitgeteilt hat.
Aus tagesschau.de vom 26.08.2011:
Boko Haram, was übersetzt in etwa "westliche Erziehung ist Sünde" bedeutet, will die Errichtung eines islamischen Staates im Norden Nigerias erkämpfen. Dort leben überwiegend Muslime, während der Süden des Landes von Christen dominiert wird. Nach Angaben des Afrika-Experten der BBC, Martin Plaut, hätten US-Militärs vor wenigen Wochen betont, es gebe Hinweise auf eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen Boko Haram und Al Kaida. Offenbar habe Boko Haram mittlerweile das Wissen, um solche Angriffswellen durchzuführen. Die Gruppe habe als eine radikale Gruppe in Nordnigeria begonnen - und sei nun Teil einer größeren islamistischen Bewegung ... mehr

When Boko Haram bombs hold us hostage 14.09.2011 - The Moment
IF we are to assess President Goodluck Jonathan’s first 100 days in office as the number one citizen of Nigeria, one would argue that it has been a mixture of metaphors. Before Jonathan became President, many witnessed the political inter-play between some powerful elements from the North and those from the South-South. There was palpable tension everywhere; from the late President Umaru Yar’Adua to state governors who were wielding political power in their respective states and Aso Rock ... mehr
IRIN hat geschrieben:NIGERIA: Timeline of Boko Haram activity 07.10.2011 - IRIN
Following a spate of increasingly violent attacks by the Boko Haram “terrorist” group in August, the Nigerian government set up a committee to outline the best way to tackle it. Released on 26 September, the committee's report strongly urged dialogue and negotiation, though this has previously been rejected by Boko Haram sect members. The government is currently meeting to decide its approach, which it will set out in an upcoming White Paper, according to Vice-President Namadi Sambo.
The following is a chronology of attacks by Boko Haram (BH) since 2003.
3 October 2011: Three killed in BH attacks on Baga market in Maiduguri, Borno State. The victims included a tea-seller, a drug store owner and a passer-by.
1 October 2011: A butcher and his assistant are killed by BH gunmen at Baga market in Maiduguri in a targeted killing. In a separate incident, three people are killed in a shoot-out following BH bomb and shooting attacks on a military patrol vehicle delivering food to soldiers at a checkpoint in Maiduguri. All three victims are civilians.
17 September 2011: Babakura Fugu, brother-in-law to slain BH leader Mohammed Yusuf, is shot dead outside his house in Maiduguri by two members of the sect, two days after attending a peace meeting with Nigeria’s ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in the city.
13 September 2011: Four soldiers shot and wounded in an ambush by BH members in Maiduguri shortly after the arrest of 15 sect members in military raids on BH hideouts in the city.
12 September 2011: Seven men, including four policemen, are killed by BH gunmen in bomb and shooting attacks on a police station and a bank in Misau, Bauchi State. The attackers rob the bank.
4 September 2011: Muslim cleric Malam Dala shot dead by two BH members outside his home in the Zinnari area of Maiduguri.
1 September 2011: A shootout between BH gunmen and soldiers in Song, Adamawa State, kills one sect members while another is injured and captured.
26 August 2011: BH claims responsibility for a suicide bomb blast on the UN compound in Abuja, killing 23 people.

20 June 2011: Seven people including five policemen killed in gun and bomb attacks on a police station and a bank in Kankara, Katsina State.
16 June 2011: BH targets national police headquarters in Abuja, killing two.
7 June 2011: Attacks on a church and two police posts in Maiduguri, blamed on the sect, leave at least 14 dead.
6 June 2011: Muslim cleric Ibrahim Birkuti, critical of BH, shot dead by two motorcycle-riding BH gunmen outside his house in Biu, 200km from Maiduguri.
29 May 2011: Three bombs rip through a beer garden in a military barracks in the northern city of Bauchi, killing 13 and wounding 33. BH claims responsibility.
27 May 2011: A group of around 70 suspected BH gunmen kill eight people including four policemen in simultaneous gun and bomb attacks on a police station, a police barracks and a bank in Damboa, Borno State, near the border with Chad.
29 December 2010: Suspected BH gunmen shoot dead eight people in Maiduguri, including the governorship candidate of the ruling All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in Borno State.
24 and 27 December 2010: A series of attacks claimed by BH in the central city of Jos and Maiduguri kill at least 86.
7 September 2010: A group of BH gunmen free over 700 inmates including around 100 sect members from a prison in Bauchi. Four people including a soldier, one policeman and two residents were killed in the raid.
26 July 2009: BH launches a short-lived uprising in parts of the north, which is quelled by a military crackdown that leaves more than 800 dead - mostly sect members, including BH leader Mohammed Yusuf. A mosque in the capital of Borno State (Maiduguri) that served as a sect headquarters is burnt down.
2005-2008 BH went underground, reducing its attacks and focusing on recruiting new members and shoring up resources.
10 October 2004: BH gunmen attack a convoy of 60 policemen in an ambush near the town of Kala-Balge on the border with Chad. The militants took 12 policemen hostage and police authorities presumed they were killed by the gunmen because all attempts to trace them failed.
23 September 2004: BH militia attack police stations in the towns of Gwoza and Bama in Borno State, killing four policemen and two civilians. They took to the Mandara Mountains along the Nigeria-Cameroon border. Soldiers and two gunships were deployed in the mountains and after two days of battle 27 sect members were killed while the rest slipped away. Five BH members who crossed into Cameroon were arrested by Cameroonian gendarmes who had been alerted by Nigerian authorities. The five were deported and handed over to Nigerian authorities.
June 2004: Four members of BH were killed by prison guards in a foiled jail break in Yobe State capital Damaturu.
7 January 2004: Seven members of BH killed and three others arrested by a team of local vigilantes outside the town of Damboa, Borno State, near border with Chad. Bags containing AK-47 rifles were recovered from sect members.
23-31 December 2003: A group of about 200 BH militants launched attacks on police stations in the towns of Kanamma and Geidam in Yobe State from their enclave outside Kanamma on the Nigerian border with Niger. BH killed several policemen and requisitioned police weapons and vehicles. Following the deployment of military troops to contain the insurrection, 18 BH members were killed, and a number arrested.
Suicide bombers have targeted the headquarters of the military and secret service in the northern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, army officials say. Maj Gen Jack Nwaogbo, commander of the city's military taskforce, told the BBC three of the attackers had died. Two other explosions have been reported and an eyewitness told the BBC he saw smoke rising from outside a college.
