When Boko Haram first formed, their actions were nonviolent. Their main goal was to purify Islam in northern Nigeria.
Since March 2015, the group has been aligned with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Thousands of lives have been lost and others displaced as a result of the activities of Boko Haram.
