This project examines the coping mechanisms employed by survivors of terrorism and violent conflict in Nigeria; it hopes to enable these people to obtain better, long-term access to psychological support. Some of the survivors have experienced brutal violence – to their possessions, their families or their own bodies. Many of them are still unable to speak about their experiences. For most, it is not possible to simply carry on, for what they have gone through now preoccupies their thoughts. The project shows the difficulty inherent in continuing with a “normal”ֺ life, even when help is there. Moreover, the author looks for the causes of terrorism and violent conflict in Nigeria, Africa’s most populated country.
