Final Project Proposal

The Rise of Boko Haram and the Rise of Local Militias 


I will use flash to map the rise of the insurgency of Boko Haram in Nigeria. Over the past couple year’s, the terrorist organization has gained internationally notoriety. They have increased their presence in the Islamic north of Nigeria. Most recently, they have announced they are now joining forces with ISIS. The international community does not view Boko Haram as a threat to nations that do not share their borders but our government is closely monitoring their growth.

The map will be include a time line of major attacks within the past year, since 276 schools girls were abducted in April 2014. There will be 12 points, with half being attacks from Boko Haram, and 6 from the Nigerian government or local militias. Points will represent the physical location of the attacks and each will be accompanied by a headline of a newspaper article covering the incident.
