Locatie: Anna van Buerenplein 301, 2595 DG Den Haag, Auditorium. How effective is the army is in defeating the movement Boko Haram? How are the low oil prices affecting the government? And how can the region start to recover from the terrible impact of Boko Haram? Boko Haram in the North-East of Nigeria is the product of deep roots of dissension, the last of a long line of Islamist movements, reaching back all the way to the Jihadist Caliphate of Sokoto in the early 19th century.

Lecture by Francesco Zappa, Associate Professor of Islamic Studies at Sapienza University of Rome. "In this lecture, I will discuss and analyze the verbal arts of Almamy Bah, a celebrated, contemporary Malian bard whose highly mediatized repertoire centers on Islamic hagiographic themes. Through the close analysis of some of his works recorded on audiocassette and CDs, I will show how the bard raises the history of recent processes of Islamization in Mali to the timeless, almost mythic level of epic tales."
