Notes
[edit]- ^ Following Mohammed Yusuf's death, Boko Haram splintered into numerous factions which no longer operated under a unified leadership. Though Abubakar Shekau eventually became the preeminent commander of the movement, he never really controlled all Boko Haram groups. Instead the factions were loosely allied, but also occasionally clashed with each other.[11][12] This situation changed in 2015, when Shekau pledged allegiance to ISIL.[13][14] The leadership of ISIL eventually decided to replace Shekau as local commander with Abu Mus'ab al-Barnawi, whereupon the movement split completely. Shekau no longer recognized the authority of ISIL's central command, and his loyalists started to openly fight the followers of al-Barnawi.[13] Regardless, Shekau did never officially renounce his pledge of allegiance to ISIL as a whole; his forces are thus occasionally regarded as "second branch of ISWAP". Overall, the relation of Shekau with ISIL remains confused and ambiguous.[15]
- ^ The exact origin of Ansaru is unclear, but it had already existed as Boko Haram faction[19] before officially announcing its foundation as separate group on 1 January 2012.[19][20][21] The group has no known military presence in Nigeria since 2015, but several of its members appear to be still active.[22]
