Boko haram is an idealogy.
You don't fight an idealogy with force alone.
The most effective strategy against an organisation that's founded on an idea is to attack the idea.
Use Moslem clerics to speak against it's doctrines.
Pour resources into their operational base. E.g. Social warfare for residents and infrastructure development.
Win the minds of the people, connect with community leaders, clerics etc.
Penetrate the organisation, not with the intention of arresting members but to sway them to a much more moderate strand of Islam.
The government doesn't help matters when residents of affected cities are complaining that the Nigerian military is killing more people than boko haram.
