Abstract
The article discusses two books that provide insights into the Boko Haram insurgency and terrorism in Africa. The first book, "Mobility, mobilization, and counter/insurgency," examines how mobility is used by states and non-state actors in armed conflict, focusing on the role of motorcycle taxi drivers and almajirai in the Boko Haram insurgency. The second book, "Insurgency, terrorism, and counterterrorism," offers a comprehensive analysis of insurgent movements and terrorist organizations operating in Africa, including Al Shabab, Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda, and the Islamic State. Both books provide valuable perspectives on the causes and dynamics of terrorism in Africa and are recommended for those interested in understanding these issues. [Extracted from the article]
