The Risks of Civilian-led Negotiations with JAS/ ISWAP [bicc policy brief]

Abstract

Despite government hardlines in the Lake Chad Basin against negotiating with non-state armed groups, civilians are negotiating hostage releases with JAS/ ISWAP insurgents. These deals seem harmless but in reality, they put border communities at risk of further violence. Openly acknowledging this risk is a crucial first step for national and international actors to help protect border communities from continued violence.
