I am a doctoral candidate in Politics at Somerville College studying conflict and political transitions in post-colonial Africa. My project examines the political roots of insecurity in Nigeria since the country’s return to civilian rule in 1999. This research draws on fieldwork conducted across each of Nigeria’s six sub-national regions, with a focus on four distinct yet interrelated conflicts: rural banditry, the jihadist Boko Haram insurgency, the Niger Delta “petro-insurgency,” and Biafran separatism.
