The Guradian's got that bit wrong, actually

It's not the geography that calls for a "cold civil war" label. It's the number of people involved. Boko Haram isn't considered to be a "cold civil war" side, and it's got more people involved.

“Most prominent thinkers still dismiss the idea of civil war, because their reference is an event that occurred in 1860 under a very specific set of circumstances. But that’s discounting the way that modern political violence manifests itself... If this was happening in another country, say in Africa or Asia, I think American journalists would already be referring to the situation as a cold civil war."
