Four fronts. One crisis.

Since 2014, Fulani militants, a small, armed faction within the wider Fulani population, have escalated attacks on predominantly Christian communities, striking with sophisticated weapons and near-total impunity.

In the northeast, Boko Haram operates largely among the Kanuri people. Having pledged allegiance to ISIS, it now often calls itself the Islamic State of West Africa.

Northern Nigeria is often portrayed as uniformly Muslim. In reality, Christians make up at least 30% of the region's population, and far more in some areas.

For 15 to 20 years, these communities have faced escalating discrimination and targeted persecution, largely absent from the global narrative.

Boko Haram's campaign has driven hundreds of thousands from their homes, scattering families across Nigeria and into neighbouring countries.

Displaced communities face acute barriers to food, clean water, shelter, and other basic rights, a crisis still deepening today.

This crisis doesn't stop at a border. More than 300,000 displaced Nigerians have fled into Cameroon, Chad, and Niger, nations already strained by food insecurity and their own terror threats.

Nigeria is also a strategic U.S. partner and one of the world's most populous nations. Its destabilisation is a security concern for the region, and for the West.
