Overview
This article reviews the early history of Boko Haram (1994-2009) in the light of
the trans-local entanglement of Nigerian political and religious actors in the
global paradigm of the War on Terror (WoT). Empirically, the article shows
evidence of Nigeria's early involvement in a counterterrorism strategy based on
the surveillance of actors (who gradually morphed into Boko Haram) believed to
be connected to international terrorist networks. Such a strategy was mainly
designed to sever such alleged international ties. Methodologically, the article
draws on the idea that terrorism and counterterrorism are two structures that
take shape in parallel ways in any given context and suggests that Nigeria's
counterterrorism strategies need to become part of the historical narrative on
Boko Haram. Theoretically, it argues that the early history of Boko Haram was
shaped by a specifically Nigerian configuration of WoT politics. It submits that
two incidents that occurred in 2003 and 2009 should be viewed as WoT preemptive
strikes rather than as insurgencies. Finally, it argues that such WoT policies
have contributed to transform a small, embryonic group of militants animated by
a global agenda into an all-out, local insurgency against Nigerian institutions
and civil society.
