Accounts of the Boko Haram Insurgency at the University of Maiduguri. Berichte über den Boko Haram Aufstand an der Universität zu Maiduguri

“As a university, we have never closed for one day! We have been there all this while despite the Boko Haram insurgency.” In this book, academics of the University of Maiduguri in north-eastern Nigeria tell their stories about how they survived the violent movement that started in 2009. With Boko Haram meaning “Western education is sin” the university was one of the main targets of the Islamist group. The eye-witnesses give insight into their individual experiences and coping strategies. Moreover, it becomes obvious how important a university can be in a time of a political crisis.
