Security Challenges

• Boko Haram attacks, often carried out through proxies such as armed Fulani militia, perpetuating a subtle continuation of the jihad of Uthman Dan Fodio for territorial conquest and religious domination.
• Local militia activities. The activities are not without influence from Boko-Haram and their affiliated networks
• Internal strife, including inter and intra-tribal disputes over land, mineral resources, politics, boundary adjustments, and more.
• Proliferation of arms.
• The formation of local security outfits.
• Unemployment, which exacerbates social and economic tensions.
