The views expressed below are his personal views and do not reflect those of his former employers.\u003C\/em\u003E\n\nAccording to \u003Cem\u003EFortune Magazine\u003C\/em\u003E, investments in foreign held assets are decreasing. Joshua Cooper Ramo points out that, \u201cfigures on investment in assets held overseas, probably the best indicator of enthusiasm for globalism, are drifting down toward 40 percent from more than 50 percent in 2008.\u201d\u00a0 Ramo further notes that during \u201cmost of the past twenty years trade has raced ahead of global economic growth,\u201d but in the last twenty-four months, it has slowed and, \u201cthis year, globally we\u2019ll be below the twenty year average rate of trade growth yet again.\u201d\u00a0 According to Ramo, \u201cWe find everywhere signs of a world turning inward and of an era when the inside will define success and deliver growth\u2014for companies, for nations, even for your career\u2014in the way the outside once did.\u201d\n\nIf true, and if sustained, where would such a trend toward an \u201cinside world\u201d leave Nigeria?\u00a0 The country has, and does, depend heavily on export markets and foreign investment to maintain its oil industry, which provides 95 percent of the country\u2019s foreign exchange earnings and 80 percent of its budgetary revenue.\u00a0 Moreover, trade integration is believed to contribute to economic performance.\u00a0 Nigerian officials have considered \u201cdeeper trade integration as a means to foster economic growth and alleviate poverty,\u201d according to some researchers. Yet the country\u2019s National Bureau of Statistics reports unemployment at 21 percent, implying, says the \u003Cem\u003ELeadership\u003C\/em\u003E newspaper, \u201cpolicy failure.\u201d\n\nEconomic shortcomings are paralleled by stalling anti-corruption efforts.\u00a0 Transparency International ranked Nigeria 139 out of 179 countries surveyed, making it, the second most corrupt country in West Africa.\u00a0Security continues to deteriorate.\u00a0 Nigeria is now the seventh-most terrorized country in the world, according to the Global Terrorism Index.\n\nRamo argues that when globalizing eras end, they \u201cgenerally take nations that don\u2019t adapt for a very unpleasant ride.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Operating on old\u00a0ideas, their leaders\u00a0typically fail to grasp dynamics of the new age.\u00a0 This is what revolutions are made of, he suggests.\u00a0\u00a0If so, Nigeria may be closer to the brink than previously thought.\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__metadata\u0022\u003E\n                              \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__authors\u0022\u003Eby Guest Blogger for John Campbell\u003C\/span\u003E\n                  \n        \n                  \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__date\u0022\u003E December 28, 2012\u003C\/span\u003E\n        \n        \n                          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/africa-transition\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__series\u0022\u003E\n            Africa in Transition\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n              \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022views-row\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022views-field views-field-search-api-rendered-item\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022field-content\u0022\u003E\n\n  \n\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large article card-article-large--with-thumbnail\u0022\u003E\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__container\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__content\u0022\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__topic-tag\u0022\u003E\n          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/sub-saharan-africa\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__topic-tag-link\u0022\u003E\n            Sub-Saharan Africa\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n            \n                  \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/nigeria-security-tracker-goes-live \u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__link\u0022\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__title\u0022\u003E\n            Nigeria Security Tracker Goes Live\n                    \u003C\/div\u003E\n                  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__image\u0022\u003E\n            \n                          \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__image-cover\u0022 style=\u0022background-image: url(\/\/cdn.cfr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/card_landscape_m_380x253\/public\/image\/2012\/12\/Africa-NST-Release-post.jpg.webp)\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n                      \u003C\/div\u003E\n              \u003C\/a\u003E\n\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__dek clamp-js\u0022 data-clamp-lines=\u00224\u0022\u003EThe Nigeria Security Tracker is now accessible on cfr.org;\u00a0check it out.\n\nThe Nigeria Security Tracker (NST) is a research project of the Council\u2019s Africa program that I direct. The project was originally envisioned by Asch Harwood. The NST documents and maps violence in Nigeria that is motivated by political, economic or social grievances. There is a map that documents deaths by state. There are three graphs that show deaths over time; weekly violent deaths by perpetrator (Boko Haram, state security services, and deaths from sectarian\/communal violence); and cumulative weekly violent deaths in Nigeria by perpetrator.\n\nThe map and graphs are interactive: they organize the data by state but also by timeframe. For example, they show the steady spread of Boko Haram and security service violence from east to west. At the time of President Jonathan\u2019s inauguration, most of the Boko Haram violence was centered in Borno. By the last quarter of 2012, it had spread to every state in the North, though it remained most intense in Borno and Yobe.\n\nThe NST data date from President Goodluck Jonathan\u2019s 2011 inauguration day and go through the end of October 2012. It is regularly updated, and data from November 2012 should be included in the next week or so.\n\nThe NST is based on a methodical and regular survey of Nigerian and international press reports.\n\nThe NST is most valuable as an indicator of trends, not the exact number of victims. Violence is often under-reported in Nigeria and there can be significant differences between official figures and those of other observers. For example, experienced foreign and Nigerian non-governmental organization (NGO) field workers have told me that a rule of thumb is to multiply official death figures by five to get a more accurate picture.\n\nFor more on Boko Haram and some conclusions based on the NST, see the Expert Brief I published with Asch Harwood on December 26, and Toni Johnson\u2019s Backgrounder, \u201cBoko Haram,\u201d updated today.\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__metadata\u0022\u003E\n                              \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__authors\u0022\u003Eby John Campbell\u003C\/span\u003E\n                  \n        \n                  \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__date\u0022\u003E December 27, 2012\u003C\/span\u003E\n        \n        \n                          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/africa-transition\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__series\u0022\u003E\n            Africa in Transition\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n              \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022views-row\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022views-field views-field-search-api-rendered-item\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022field-content\u0022\u003E\n\n  \n\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large article card-article-large--with-thumbnail\u0022\u003E\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__container\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__content\u0022\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__topic-tag\u0022\u003E\n          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/sub-saharan-africa\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__topic-tag-link\u0022\u003E\n            Sub-Saharan Africa\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n            \n                  \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/boko-haram-and-nigerias-culture-violence \u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__link\u0022\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__title\u0022\u003E\n            Boko Haram and Nigeria\u2019s Culture of Violence\n                    \u003C\/div\u003E\n                  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__image\u0022\u003E\n            \n                          \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__image-cover\u0022 style=\u0022background-image: url(\/\/cdn.cfr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/card_landscape_m_380x253\/public\/image\/2012\/12\/Affrica-NST-release.jpg.webp)\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n                      \u003C\/div\u003E\n              \u003C\/a\u003E\n\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__dek clamp-js\u0022 data-clamp-lines=\u00224\u0022\u003ECFR.org published today an\u00a0expert brief\u00a0Asch Harwood\u00a0and I co-authored on violence in Nigeria. It is based on the\u00a0Nigeria Security Tracker\u00a0(NST) that also went live today. Based on NST data, we conclude that Boko Haram, the radical Islamic insurgency against the Nigerian political economy, is expanding its area of operations. In 2011, Boko Haram violence was largely confined to Nigeria\u2019s northeast. By the end of 2012, the NST had documented Boko Haram related incidents across all of northern Nigeria. We also conclude that Boko Haram\u2019s methods have evolved. The NST documents numerous suicide bombings. Use of suicide bombers was unknown in West Africa, where suicide is culturally anathema, until two such\u00a0high-profile incidents took place in Abuja during the summer of 2011. The NST also lends\u00a0credibility\u00a0to\u00a0claims\u00a0by human rights organizations that the Nigerian security services have\u00a0been responsible for many deaths, at times as many as Boko Haram.\n\nWe conclude that while Boko Haram has gained support by propagating a radical Islamist ideology, it is northern alienation, poverty, and bad governance that are the fundamental causes of northern Nigeria\u2019s instability and violence. Nigeria will need to make monumental changes to its political economy in order to address its myriad internal conflicts. That is a tall order\u00a0for any government. The unanswered question is whether the Nigerian political system has the will to even start the journey.\n\nTomorrow, I will blog on the NST, describing its methodology.\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__metadata\u0022\u003E\n                              \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__authors\u0022\u003Eby John Campbell\u003C\/span\u003E\n                  \n        \n                  \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__date\u0022\u003E December 26, 2012\u003C\/span\u003E\n        \n        \n                          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/africa-transition\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__series\u0022\u003E\n            Africa in Transition\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n              \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\n\n\n\t\t  \t  \u003Cli class=\u0022views-row\u0022\u003E\n\t    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022views-field views-field-search-api-rendered-item\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022field-content\u0022\u003E\n\n  \n\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large article card-article-large--with-thumbnail\u0022\u003E\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__container\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__content\u0022\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__topic-tag\u0022\u003E\n          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/sub-saharan-africa\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__topic-tag-link\u0022\u003E\n            Sub-Saharan Africa\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n        \u003C\/div\u003E\n            \n                  \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/french-president-suggests-al-qaeda-links-northern-nigeria \u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__link\u0022\u003E\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__title\u0022\u003E\n            French President Suggests al-Qaeda Links in Northern Nigeria\n                    \u003C\/div\u003E\n                  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__image\u0022\u003E\n            \n                          \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__image-cover\u0022 style=\u0022background-image: url(\/\/cdn.cfr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/card_landscape_m_380x253\/public\/image\/2012\/12\/Africa-Hollande.jpg.webp)\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n                      \u003C\/div\u003E\n              \u003C\/a\u003E\n\n              \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__dek clamp-js\u0022 data-clamp-lines=\u00224\u0022\u003EPresident Hollande said on December 21 that the French national kidnapped in northern Nigeria was the victim of an armed group that \u201cno doubt has links with \u00a0al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb\u00a0(AQIM)... who are now in Mali.\u201d \u00a0Hollande\u2019s administration sponsored and pushed hard for\u00a0the UN Security Council resolution passed unanimously on December 20 authorizing West African intervention in northern Mali.\n\nAlas, it is credible that the gunmen who kidnapped the French expatriate and killed two Nigerian guards do have links to radical Islamist groups in Mali.\u00a0 Nigeria\u2019s indigenous radical Islamic insurrection against Abuja is diffuse, or fragmenting.\u00a0 In some parts of Nigeria\u2019s North, law and order has broken down almost entirely.

Now, there is a credible report of black African defections from al-Qaeda linked groups in northern Mali. Hicham Bilal, who claims to have been the only black battalion leader within the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), defected in November and returned to his native Niger. In a press interview he accused jihadist groups in Mali of racism. The leadership is \u201cwhite,\u201d while blacks are \u0022cannon fodder,\u0022 he said. He also complained that MUJAO included drug traffickers. MUJAO controls the city of Gao. According to another journalist, race may also play a role in\u00a0Ansar Dine-controlled Timbuktu. Its leadership is \u201cwhite,\u201d from Algeria and\u00a0Mauritania.\n\nRacial tensions within the northern Malian radical jihadist groups could become a source of weakness, perhaps providing diplomatic opportunities once there is a credible government in Bamako. If, however, the UN Security Council votes on December 20, 2012, to approve the deployment of a force in northern Mali put together by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the jihadist groups may pull together. The UN Security Council resolution, sponsored by France, is widely supported in West Africa, and the \u003Cem\u003ENew York Times\u003C\/em\u003E expects the vote in favor to be unanimous.\n\nThe resolution includes provision for Western training and equipment for the Malian army. However, it may be a long time before intervention actually takes place. It is foreseen that the ECOWAS force would number some 3,300, but it is not clear where that number of troops will come from. In the past, Nigeria was the powerhouse of West Africa and would supply a large percentage of the troops for multinational forces. The Nigerian military, however, is currently stretched thin with the Boko Haram insurgency in northern Nigeria.\u003C\/div\u003E\n      \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022card-article-large__metadata\u0022\u003E\n                              \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__authors\u0022\u003Eby John Campbell\u003C\/span\u003E\n                  \n        \n                  \u003Cspan class=\u0022card-article-large__date\u0022\u003E December 20, 2012\u003C\/span\u003E\n        \n        \n                          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/blog\/africa-transition\u0022 class=\u0022card-article-large__series\u0022\u003E\n            Africa in Transition\n          \u003C\/a\u003E\n              \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\t  \u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n    \n\u003Cul class=\u0022js-pager__items pager\u0022 data-drupal-views-infinite-scroll-pager\u003E\n  \u003Cli class=\u0022pager__item\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Ca class=\u0022button\u0022 href=\u0022?page=1\u0022 title=\u0022Load more items\u0022 rel=\u0022next\u0022\u003ELoad More\u003C\/a\u003E\n  \u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\n\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n","settings":null}]
