Title: Boko Haram - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Boko Haram is an Islamic sect that believes politics in northern Nigeria has been seized by a group of corrupt, false Muslims. The group has adopted its official name to be "the Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad“. In the town of Maiduguri, where the group was formed, the residents dubbed it Boko Haram. Boko Haram was founded as an indigenous group, turning itself into a Jihadist group in 2009. It wants to wage a war against corrupt Muslims, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria generally, to create a “pure” Islamic state ruled by sharia law. A range of conflicting narratives has grown up around Boko Haram, and the group's origins, motivations, and future plans remain a matter of debate. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
