U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF):
" While nonstate actors are the most visible part of the issue, the USCIRF report emphasized the role of the Nigerian government in driving and aggravating the violence. "Numerous analyses and policy reports corroborate that poor governance is one of the main drivers of violent conflict throughout the country," said USCIRF. "Inadequate justice sector capacity and performance has reinforced a culture of impunity, exacerbating the violence economy."
