“You are welcome!”At the Future Prowess school, the word “welcome” carries added resonance. It consciously and publicly welcomes both the orphans of jihadists – and the children of civilians and soldiers killed by the jihadists. Tucked away down a quiet street in Maiduguri, the regional capital, the school teaches 540 students – 20% of them related to Boko Haram, 80% to their victims. Women rescued from captivity with Boko Haram sometimes report being rejected by their families and communities, who fear they were radicalised while kidnapped. One Boko Haram bride initially refused to mother her own newborn baby, fearing he would turn into an insurgent.
