In Nigeria, political, economic, and social grievances are causing violence and deaths. Several militant groups are active in the country, leading to attacks to both civil and military targets. Boko Haram is the deadliest terrorist group, an affiliate of the Islamic State. In 2021, the highest number of fatalities was in February. Furthermore, in June 2020, an attack occurred in a village not far from Maiduguri, the Borno state capital and center of the conflicts in northeastern Nigeria. At that month, the death of 179 civilians was registered. Boko Haram is the main suspect responsible for this attack. In the same month, the region of Borno was hit also by another massacre carried out by the Islamic State in West Africa.
