On March 28, units of the Nigerian army liquidated 25 militants of the Islamist group Boko Haram in the state of Borno in northeastern Nigeria, according to army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman. He further said that the military liberated three more villages, confiscated weapons, and freed 18 people from the militants' captivity.

Less than a year later, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, spoke of significant progress in the fight against Boko Haram. Buhari relocated the military base from the capital of the city of Abuja, to the northeastern city of Maiduguri, coordinating efforts with other armed forces in the region, and using intelligence from the United States and Great Britain.

Buhari claims that Boko Haram is on the run and that his forces have managed to win a technical victory over the group. “This is still fighting force, but we are done with them," said Buhari.

Like always, it is easier said than done. Did the Nigerian Armed Forces decimate Boko Haram as the president had said? Since many Nigerians and their neighbours are still a target of terrorist attacks, as well as for hundreds of thousands of people who had to relocate as a result of the ongoing conflict in the region.

Only in the first two weeks of February 2016, more than 260 people were killed in a series of militant attacks on villages in the state of Borno, The Foreign Affairs newspaper confirmed.

What can the people of Nigeria and the whole world expect from the most brutal terrorist organization in history? And is there a threat to its penetration outside of Africa?

Boko Haram is a terrorist group spreading to northeastern Nigeria, as well as to Chad, Niger and northern Cameroon, under a leader who calls himself Abubakar Shekau.

The group is suspected of having links to al-Qaida, and in March 2015, announced its allegiance to the Islamic State. Since 2009, 20,000 people have been recruited and 2.3 million people were forced to leave their homes. It can't be an exaggeration, Boko Haram is now considered the most deadly terrorist group in the world according to the Global Terrorism Index in 2015.
