While working as an analyst in a counterterrorism division, a tasking has come down from a senior official which says:  Tell me about how Boko Haram and its leader functions and provide me some recommendations!!

Your job is to respond to this tasking by writing a profile of the group (Boko Haram).  Your profile is required to be 12-15 pages, double spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman, excluding bibliography and title page.  Please ensure your bibliography is in Turabian “Author-Date” format.  Ensure your name is part of the filename extension.

In your profile please include the following:

1.  Concise introduction to the group including history and background
2.  Discussion of the leader (brief biography, leadership style, personality, traits, motivation, images, any other relevant information)
3.  Discussion of how the group functions (recruitment and indoctrination, dehumanization, conformity, conflict, social control, interpersonal dynamics, any other relevant information)
4. Your conclusions based on 1-3
5. Recommendations regarding the group
