'The U.S. should be finding ways to engage with Boko Haram'
Boko Haram, the militant Islamist group that has a foothold in northern
Nigeria, has begun to consolidate control over large swathes of
territory threatening the stability of Nigeria and its neighbors.
The
militants have resorted to using female suicide bombers as they ramp up
their fight against the Nigerian government ahead of elections in
February.
Bronwyn E. Bruton,
deputy director of the Atlantic Council's Africa Center, attributes
Boko Haram's rise to the Nigerian government's failure to deliver good
governance and the atrocities committed by Nigerian security forces.
