In the northeastern corner of Nigeria, bordering Cameroon to the east and Niger to the north lies Borno state. Home to over 4 million people, the area is infamous for the war that has been raging for over a decade. Since 2009, Borno state has been the epicenter of the Boko Haram insurgency. Since the rise of the conflict, Borno’s inhabitants have lived with the ever-present danger of violence, kidnapping and loss of life, as witnessed globally by the kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in 2014. Over half of the state’s inhabitants have lost their homes and primary livelihoods and remain displaced people in a land that once offered stability and opportunity.
