Boko Haram Rehabilitation and Reintegration in Nigeria

ICSVE Panel Discussion featuring

Maji Peterx

Major General (Retired) Bamidele Mattew Shafa

Dr. Anne Speckhard, Director ICSVE

MARCH 9, 2022

For over 10 years, Nigeria has grappled with how to fight Boko Haram and the Islamic State – West Africa Province [ISWAP], which are alternately affiliated and in conflict depending on group leadership. The Nigerian government’s Operation Safe Corridor [OSC], established in 2016, is a national-scale disengagement, rehabilitation, and reintegration program for low-level cadres who wish to defect from either group, and has drawn praise from experts all over the world. 

Operation Safe Corridor [OSC] has also drawn both praise and criticism from outsiders and members of the Nigerian public alike. Some have argued that OSC is equivalent to “amnesty for terrorists,” while others argue that it mislabels civilians fleeing from jihadist-held areas as terrorists. Supporters of the program, however, laud the program’s rehabilitation aspect, which includes classes in literacy, civic education, drug awareness, and vocational skills, alongside psychosocial support.

Clearly, OSC is a unique program with many strong points as well as much room for improvement. As some countries struggle to rehabilitate and reintegrate their own terrorist prisoners and returnees, and others refuse to repatriate their ISIS foreign fighters and families, Nigeria’s OSC is an important case study from which all can learn a great deal.

In addition to OSC, NGOs in Nigeria have been addressing the rehabilitation and reintegration of Boko Haram returnees as well as disengagement and deradicalization of those still in the group. Maji Peterx is the head of one of these NGOs with unique counseling experiences with returnees, including one who nearly wore a suicide vest to detonate in their meeting. 

On March 9, 2022, join ICSVE director Anne Speckhard and two leaders of Nigeria’s rehabilitation work regarding Boko Haram. Maji Peterx from Equal Access Nigeria and General Shafa, one of the leaders of OSC, for a frank discussion about the successes and challenges of such programs, needs and informed directions for the future.

11:48:08 From Roger Kluck to Everyone : HROC Healing and Rebuilding Our Community – used to reintegrate perpetrators of genocide back into community: https://vimeo.com/12297593

11:49:47 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Working on trauma-healing with police officers and communities impacted by VE has show strong outcomes for us in Kenya

11:50:25 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Maji thanks for talking about ACES and adverse neighbourhoods experiences.

11:52:34 From Dr. Vesna Markovic to Everyone : Is there a place I can get more information on the reintegration programs and their effectiveness in Nigeria?

11:52:35 From Charles Polok to Everyone : How receptive/involved is the federal government of Nigeria and the Operation Safe Corridor to the Restorative Justice in dealing with the Boko Haram insurgency in the deradicalization & reintegration process

11:52:44 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Social healing is key in breaking cycles of violence

11:53:22 From Dr. Vesna Markovic to Everyone : Is there a place I can get more information on the reintegration programs and their effectiveness in Nigeria?

11:54:11 From mpeterx to Everyone : Operation Safe Corridor has a lot of Document

11:54:23 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : https://green-string.org

11:54:30 From Mounia Ben hammou to Everyone : Justice is for the victims but it is also for the society as a whole. Even if the victim is willing to forgive, that does not prevent the Government from prosecuting on behalf of the society. Serious terrorist acts harm individual victims, communities and the society as a whole. It is also an important statement from the government that there are consequences to acts of terrorism and for the guarantees of non-recurrence. It is certainly not the only element but definitely an important one. Accountability is also key for successful reintegration so how can we achieve that objective without formal justice?

11:54:31 From mpeterx to Everyone : There are reports too

11:55:20 From SaraKropfICCT to Everyone : How do you monitor successful reintegration?

11:56:09 From Dr. Vesna Markovic to Everyone : Thank you

11:57:17 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Programs must focus on exploring issues of stress and trauma awareness, Awareness and practice tools for emotional wellbeing and regulation

11:57:39 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : wow 😳

11:58:31 From Damian Odunze, Ph.D. to Everyone : Maji and the General, thanks for the great work you are doing. Great presentation. I will get in touch with you, Maji.

11:58:48 From ICSVE – Anne Speckhard to Everyone : I think we all see from this chat our African colleagues in Kenya, Nigeria and other countries have considerable experience and compassion and knowledge to share with all of us.

11:59:13 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Issues of mental wellbeing should link issues of security, identity, relationships, resilience and healing and transformation.

12:00:19 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : We heal in the community

12:01:18 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Without healing peace is not possible

12:01:23 From Nengak Daniel Gondyi to Everyone : Thanks Maji, great, we are on same page.

12:02:45 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : Does it mean that those being endorsed by the government are being accepted based on their reason for surrendering. That is, Those adopted would easily be

12:03:19 From ICSVE – Anne Speckhard to Everyone : Maji is saying he’s careful trusting those who came out having no options, versus those who came out having options to stay in.

12:03:29 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Where there’s chronic violence it’s difficult to draw the lines between victims and perpetrators. The victims of today become perpetrators of tomorrow if cycles of violence are not broken?

12:03:52 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : The efforts should focus of breaking cycles of violence

12:03:54 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : i mean those adopted against their own will would easily be accepted by the government when surrendering.

12:05:40 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Healing-centred approaches more than MHSSP deal with underlying  structural issues thus breaking cycles of violence.

12:06:11 From Hauwa’u Evelyn Yusuf to Everyone : Maji and the General are making a great deal of sense

12:06:46 From ICSVE – Anne Speckhard to Everyone : Yes Maji’s compassion and intellect are obvious and our General I’m glad he’s back 🙂

12:07:31 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Peer to peer psychological Circles provide key roles in social healing beyond the one-on-one counselling in low resource settings.

12:07:57 From ICSVE – Anne Speckhard to Everyone : I’m looking forward to hearing from our Kenyan colleagues in another future conference!!

12:08:00 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : yes sir, extremism is birth by religious ideas…

12:11:35 From beji jibe to Everyone : It has been a very educating process. I’m just wondering about the involvement of the victims and communities in the quasi justice process.

12:14:27 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : this is a great lesson….Love it.

12:18:47 From Moronke to Everyone : Reintegration is a continuous process- General. This gives some level of comfort and safety, but will the NGOs and Nigeria government be able to continue especially with election of new government officers around the corner?

12:19:41 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : Trauma robs people of choice, healing peels back choice and gives people agency and transformation

12:21:00 From ICSVE – Anne Speckhard to Everyone : we know literally trauma shuts down parts and lights up parts of the brain with post traumatic flashbacks, sometimes to lose the ability to speak, or think well.

12:22:07 From Nengak Daniel Gondyi to Everyone : Gen Shafa: Safe Corridor seem to be working and achieving a lot, but there is this critique that nothing is being done for the victims despite lots of money going into IDP care and other humanitarian programs. Please compare the systems in place for rehabilitation of offenders versus that for victims.

12:22:30 From bonfacebeti to Everyone : VE plays into other forms of violence such as gang-violence, GBV as well “hurting self” behaviour such as substance use and instability.

12:29:30 From Onyango to Everyone : Thanks Maji for this part you have shared on women and men.

12:30:32 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : What is the difference between high profile boko Harams and low profile..

like, how are they being categorized.

12:31:02 From Collins Yusuff to Everyone : I mean how do we know who a high profile and who a low profile is ?

12:31:08 From Moronke to Everyone : Thanks to the presenters
