Abstract

While previous studies have interrogated the motivations of Boko Haram and the role of security agencies in counterinsurgency, explanations of the escalation of Boko Haram attacks on Nigerian security agencies have received limited academic attention. This study re-examines the dynamics of counterinsurgency operations in Nigeria within the context of the fragile state thesis. It argues that fragility of relevant state institutions has compromised the military-led counterinsurgency operations by flipping out strategic intelligence to the terrorists, embezzlement of arms procurement funds, sabotage and deplorable welfare condition of combatants, among others. Thus, the relevant state institutions should be strengthened to proactively respond to the maladies bedeviling the military-led counterinsurgency operations in the North-East region.

博科圣地,尼日利亚东北部的安全架构和反叛乱
虽然之前的研究对博科圣地的动机和安全机构在平叛中的作用进行了质疑,但对博科圣地对尼日利亚安全机构袭击升级的解释却受到了有限的学术关注。本研究在脆弱国家理论的背景下重新审视了尼日利亚反叛乱行动的动态。报告认为,相关国家机构的脆弱性损害了军方领导的反叛乱行动,包括向恐怖分子泄露战略情报、挪用武器采购资金、破坏和糟糕的战斗人员福利状况等。因此,相关国家机构应得到加强,积极应对困扰东北地区军方领导的平叛行动的弊病。
