Boko Haram- Islamic movement in Nigeria 2020

ISWA(Islamic State in West Africa) normally we say Boko Haram is a sort of organisation that promotes terrorism, located in Nigeria ( northeastern) and also operating in some other area such as Chad, Cameroon and Niger. The Boko Haram group is endowed IN 2002 by “MOHAMMED YUSUF”. The main purpose, when the group is formed, was to nonviolently pursue the aim. the ambition is to “PURIFY ISLAM” in Nigeria ( specifically northern region).

 since 2009 the group has been commanded by ” ABUBAKAR SHEKAU”. the organisation was aligned with “IRAQ” and “LEVANT” since 2015 the violent activities have been started. the body has killed millions of people in Nigeria itself and uprooted more than 2 million people from their habitats. according to the “global terrorism index” the Boko Haram system once become the world’s most murderous and violent terrorist organisation.

after 2009, elimination of Nigerian military force started as Boko Haram start rising radicalization in northeastern Nigeria. 

after removing more than 2 millions of people, around 240,000 have left their home place (Nigeria) and decamped in Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

in 2014, the military said they have got the control over all the terrorism but they were not successful in capturing the area where the body originally placed (MAIDUGURI), therefore the attacks were continued.

in 2019 PM official announced that the group is defeated but the attack continues in 2020.

 ISIS identified “Abu Musab al-Barnawi” in 2016, he is the leader of the body, to hide Boko Haram divided into two different parts. the first one is to continue to attack the crowded place and the second one is to continue to attack military forces in Nigeria. The Nigerian government encourage their military forces and aligned with some anti-terrorist organisation to get chance against Boko Haram.

In it, he characterizes international measures to deal with the coronavirus pandemic as part of the war on Islam by using evil forces. He denounces particularly social distancing, the suspension of pilgrimages to Mecca, and the probable amendment of positive Ramadan observances. “Just study it, they stopped you from Umrah and Hajj, even the fasting they’re telling you that corona season needs quite a few ingesting waters.” He asserts that “Muslims,” by using whom he manner exclusively the followers of his extreme brand of Salafi Islam, are protected from the virus.

Boko Haram and Covid-19 

“We pray five times a day, we pray Jummu’a, we sleep with our households, we hug, we shake palms, we’re pleasant, first-class first-rate,” he stated on the recording. “We have anti-virus even as you’re infected with the coronavirus, we’ve anti-coronavirus; it’s far the Allah we worship. We pray we scale back fornicators, we reduce palms.” (“Cut hands,” in step with the translator of the recording, means amputating the arms of thieves.)He comes near pronouncing that COVID-19 is Allah’s punishment on the ungodly.

As he has usually before, he is contemptuous of secular leaders: “In the instances of infidels like Trump, Idris Derby [sic] with the goat eye, Buhari, Muhammad Issoufu, the canine of the arms of France. Children of pigs and monkeys. If you don’t repent you may be finished.” Idris Deby is the president of Chad, Muhammed Issoufu is the president of Niger, and Muhammadu Buhari is the president of Nigeria. All three are allied against Boko Haram. Deby and Issoufu lead former French colonies, and have near ties with France; all 3 are Muslim however preserve secular office, which Boko Haram regards as evil.

The public fitness measures pressure a major alternate in how Muslims normally practice their faith. At the mosque, the ones praying are shoulder-to-shoulder, contrary to social distancing; throughout the Ramadan rapid, many northern Nigerian Muslims drink no water dawn to sunset; and the Hajj, problem to the tour ban, it seemed like a sacred obligation. While mainstream Islamic figures have recommended the authorities’ public health measures, their credibility amongst many of the marginalized in the north is low. Shekau’s attacks may additionally resonate especially with those marginalized human beings.
