Abstract

We, the Editors of Defense & Security Analysis and the publishers Taylor & Francis Group are retracting the following article:

Oluwaseun Bamidele, Boko Haram "Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad" in Northeastern Nigeria: implications for Sub-Saharan African peace and security, Defense & Security Analysis, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14751798.2014.948280. Version of Record published online 1 September 2014.

We are now cognisant that the article is substantially similar to a previously published work:

The myth of global Islamic terrorism and local conflict in Mali and the Sahel by Caitriona Dowd and Clionadh Raleigh African Affairs (2013), 112 (448). pp. 498-509 http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/afraf/adt039

We note this previously published work has not been referenced in the retracted article.

This action constitutes a breach of warranties made by the author with respect to originality and provenance. We note we received, peer-reviewed, accepted, and published the article in good faith based on these warranties, and censure this action.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as "Retracted".
