This evidence-led archive follows eight distinct cases: a final international conviction, unresolved disappearances and killings, mass attacks, and protest-era deaths. Court findings, group attribution and allegations remain clearly separated.
This section records criminal responsibility established through a completed court process. The label applies to the named defendant and charges adjudicated, not to every crime committed during the period.
Near-simultaneous suicide attacks struck two police sites. Boko Haram later claimed responsibility; ten convictions and immediate executions remain contested.

The Extraordinary African Chambers convicted Chad's former president of crimes against humanity, war crimes and torture in 2016. An appeals chamber confirmed the life sentence and core convictions in 2017.
Open case file →These files document unresolved disappearances, killings and mass attacks without converting official findings, group attribution, witness accounts or allegations into an individual criminal verdict.
A seven-hour assault killed 98 Chadian soldiers in the revised official toll. Boko Haram was blamed, but no individual prosecution or final conviction was located.

Around 40 soldiers were killed in an overnight island-base raid. The presidency blamed Boko Haram, but no direct claim or individual prosecution was located.
Open case file →“Solved / adjudicated” is limited to defendants and charges resolved by a court. “Unresolved” applies when individual responsibility, the complete toll or a person's fate remains unproved.
Government or group attribution can establish a credible conflict context without identifying the individuals who planned or carried out an attack. The Bohoma and Barkaram files remain unresolved because group attribution and military responses did not produce a located final criminal judgment against named attackers.
The official count and higher civil-society estimates are attributed separately. The archive does not choose a dramatic number where the underlying record remains contested.
Flags, records, streets and memorial motifs identify the archive without fabricating victims, reenactments or crime scenes.
