This article is the English version of Jacob Zenn,
« L’armée nigérianne et Boko Haram : les « supercamps » peuvent-ils tenir le statu quo ? », published in Politique étrangère, Vol. 86, Issue 1, 2021.
Although Boko Haram originated in 1994 and Nigeria’s first confrontations with the group occurred in 2003, Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram began only in 2010. Although military solutions are not imminent, since mid-2019 Nigeria’s army and Boko Haram’s two main factions, Islamic State-loyal Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) and non-aligned Jamaat Ahlussunnah lid-Dawa wal-Jihad (JASDJ), have reached a military stalemate. This article examines the stalemate in Nigeria’s Borno State and whether it can sustain the current status quo in Borno.
