Insurgency

[edit]

In early January 2015, residents fled Monguno and the village of Doron-Baga for the internally displaced persons camps in Maiduguri, following the capture of nearby Bama by Boko Haram.[9] Monguno was captured by Boko Haram forces on 26 January 2015.[10] Amnesty International expressed concern that local residents' requests for more troops for protection from Boko Haram had been ignored by the Army.[11] On 17 February 2015, the military retook Monguno in a coordinated air and ground assault.[12] Boko Haram and ISWAP carried out bombings in June and September 2015 and a massacre in June 2020.
