Apres sa creation en 2002, Boko Haram a bascule dans la violence armee en 2009. Depuis, cette secte et devenue le movement djihadiste le plus meurtrier au monde, avec pres de 27 000 morts au Cameroun, au Niger, au Nigeria et au Tchad. En ecoutant ceux qui y ont servi en premiere ligne, ce livre propose, pour la premiere fois, de voir la realite de Boko Haram de l'interieur. Cette plongee dans la face cachee de la secte consiste a presenter les recits d'ex-combattants recueillis dans la ville de Goudoumaria, situee a 1173 kilometres au sud-est de Niamey, la capitale nigerienne. La particularite de Goudoumaria est d'abriter le premier centre nigerien de deradicalisation, de formation professionnelle et de reinsertion sociale des deserteurs de Boko Haram.

This book is the first attempt to understand Boko Haram in a comprehensive and consistent way. It examines the early history of the sect and its transformation into a radical armed group. It analyses the causes of the uprising against the Nigerian state and evaluates the consequences of the on-going conflict from a religious, social and political point of view. The book gives priority to authors conducting fieldwork in Nigeria and tackles the following issues: the extent to which Boko Haram can be considered the product of deprivation and marginalisation; the relationship of the sect with almajirai, Islamic schools, Sufi brotherhoods, Izala, and Christian churches; the role of security forces and political parties in the radicalisation of the sect; the competing discourses in international and domestic media coverage of the crisis; and the consequences of the militarisation of the conflict for the Nigerian government and the civilian population, Christian and Muslim.
