  abstract = {{T}his article presents a critical analysis of the {N}igerian military response to {B}oko {H}aram. {I}t first debunks the current narratives of a global jihad to show that the local dynamics of an asymmetric war are more important to explain properly the




resilience of insurgents. {I}t then explores some of the causes that help understanding the prolongation of hostilities, especially the structural weakness of the military. {T}he body count of the dirty war against {B}oko {H}aram reveals that the {N}igerian security




forces played no small role in killing civilians, hence the necessity to think about alternatives to military repression},
