註釋Though Nigeria adopted a constitution in 1999, the country remains plagued with domestic instability and violence perpetrated by militant groups. To better understand the threat posed by militant groups such as Boko Haram to Nigeria's security as well as thebases for domestic instability in Nigeria, The Jamestown Foundation held a conference. The panel briefed the audience on terror-related issues in Nigeria, covering the following topics: Jacob Zenn highlighted the bases for instability in northern Nigeria based on his interactions with people in the country and neighboring states. He described the regional, ethnic and other divisions prevalent within Nigeria as well as the potential for Boko Haram to expand beyond northern Nigeria. Dibussi Tande described the origins of radical, militant, extremist Islam in Nigeria and Cameroon using the classical and alternative narratives. He also stressed the necessity for the militant groups' underlying grievances to be addressed. Dr. Andrew McGregor challenged the audience to understand the motivations of militant groups in Nigeria. He also provided a snapshot of the history of terrorism in Nigeria since the latter part of the 20th century to point out that the religious debate in northern Nigeria is the same now as it was in the early 19th century. Mark McNamee focused on MEND, a militant group which preceded Boko Haram and which has received scarce media attention despite ongoing terrorist attacks. He also alerted the audience to the environmental degradation and significant economic losses that are largely a result of mismanagement of oil resources.
