For a successful counter-terrorism campaign, scholars and conflict practitioners emphasize a combination of military and non-military strategies. While a military strategy is useful to weaken the military capacity of terrorists, non-military strategies including negotiations, deradicalization, disarmament, rehabilitation, reintegration, and other soft measures are advanced to tackle the underlying problems fuelling terrorism to achieve a long-term peaceful outcome. Within the non-military approach, deradicalization program is very significant, especially in combating religion- or ideology-motivated terrorism, given that the strategy not only aims to deconstruct extremist ideologies but also facilitates the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-combatants and victims of violent extremism. This study analyzes the deradicalization program of the Nigerian government towards countering Boko Haram. It is argued that the design and implementation of the program have structural weaknesses that may further contribute to the problem of violent extremism. Therefore, the paper recommends measures that can strengthen the deradicalization program for a successful counter-terrorism operation.

对于成功的反恐运动，学者和冲突从业者强调军事和非军事战略的结合。虽然军事战略有助于削弱恐怖分子的军事能力，但通过谈判、去极端化、解除武装、康复、重返社会等软措施等非军事战略，解决助长恐怖主义的根本问题，以实现长期和平结果. 在非军事方法中，去极端化计划非常重要，特别是在打击宗教或意识形态驱动的恐怖主义方面，因为该战略不仅旨在解构极端主义意识形态，而且还促进前战斗人员和暴力受害者的康复和重新融入社会。极端主义。本研究分析了尼日利亚政府为打击博科圣地而采取的去激进化计划。有人认为，该计划的设计和实施存在结构性弱点，可能会进一步加剧暴力极端主义问题。因此，本文建议采取措施，以加强去极端化计划，以取得成功的反恐行动。
