Over the past ten years, the conflict between Boko Haram and the Nigerian government has undergone several phases. In the last one, starting in 2019, the Nigerian armed forces have become entrenched in about 20 super camps, directing its air strikes against the various surrounding insurgent factions. Subsequently, the conflict appears to be at a stalemate, but probably to the insurgents' advantage, who are extending their control over territory and people in the absence of any prospects of a political solution.
