Answer 1

Militancy according to the dictionaries literally means the state of being ready for combat or fight and militant means someone who fights for a cause or belief.

The two videos talks about the BOKO HARAM ISIS militants in North East Nigeria and ISIS militants in Anbar Province.

If you still want the explanation, please use this.

Based on the definitions and the hints from the videos, the word militancy in this context means the state of being ready for combat or fight but both of them in this case for a wrong reason. So if the definitions are elaborated further, militants are people who fight for a negative cause by harming and killing innocent people and those who don't belong to their group.
