Democracy and religious fundamentalisms in Nigeria: living free in fear

Abstract

International audience Nigeria moves to the rhythm of religious violence for nearly 30 years. This text therefore proposes to reverse the causes of this “rampant religious violence” trying to understand the place of religion in state formation, then taking the example of one of these religious groups in Northern country, dissident of political power in place, the Haram Boko, who appears as a Sub-Saharan version of Afghans Talibans. This text invites us to reflect on the influence of a democratic regime in the emergence of such movements, and the way that would allow a better understanding, and therefore the eradication of religious fundamentalism in the countries, and by extension in other Sub-Saharan countries affected by these interreligious violences.
