Boko haram and mass atrocities training activity

Assessing Risks for
Mass Atrocities in Northeast Nigeria © START, June 2015 1 TRAINING ACTIVITY Assessing Risks for Mass Atrocities in Northeast Nigeria EXERCISE OVERVIEW AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES This exercise is designed to familiarize the participants to one method for assessing the risks of mass atrocities in a context of terrorism. Specifically, the exercise will be carried out to assess risks in northeast Nigeria (the states of Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa), where the terrorist group Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād, more commonly known as Boko Haram, has carried out a running campaign of terrorism and insurgency. Learning objectives for this training activity include the following: Participants will become familiarized with the United Nation’s “Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes: A Tool for Prevention”; Participants will enhance their knowledge of the current state of conflict in Nigeria’s northeast; Participants will become more aware of the players engaged in insurgency/terrorism and counter-insurgency/counter-terrorism in Nigeria’s northeast; Participants will be able to apply generalized framework indicators to a specific conflict and assess specific actors/populations at risk for becoming perpetrators of mass atrocities. RISK FACTORS AND INDICATORS For each risk factor, mark the cell for the actor or actors to which it applies. Risk factors may impact only one actor or all of them. Indicators are illustrative examples of given risk factors, but they may not be comprehensive. Therefore, another “other” category is provided. Base your judgment primarily on the material presented; if using outside knowledge or information, note that use. Be prepared to explain your group’s reasoning for marking the actors. Each group will be assigned two of the risk factors to assess. Groups will be given 20 minutes to complete their assessment. Risk Factor1 Indicator Boko Haram Nigerian Military Nigerian Police Civilian Joint Task Force Other Militaries Situations of armed conflict and other forms of instability Current armed conflict Security crisis (including threats of external intervention, terrorism) Humanitarian crisis Abrupt or irregular regime change Growing nationalist, armed, or radical opposition Political repression Economic scarcity of resources or disputes over their use Economic contraction at national level Acute poverty, mass unemployment, or horizontal inequalities Mass protests Exclusion/tensions based on identity Other indicator 1 Risk factors and indicators are taken from United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect, “Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes: A Tool for Prevention,” (New York: United Nations, 2014), http://www.un.org/en/preventgenocide/adviser/pdf/framework%20of%20analysis%20for%20atrocity%20crimes_en.pdf.
