Self-determination is in the air. We began last week with a Kurdish referendum in Iraq, and we ended it with a raucous Catalan referendum in Spain; neither may amount to much, at least in the short term. But hope is a hard thing to extinguish, as "separatist" movements around the world can tell you. Here, 5 others holding out hope in 2017:
Biafra
RISK REPORT
3 Ways the United Nations Is Helping the World (and 2 Ways It Can't)
A country of 250+ ethnic groups, Nigeria declared independence from Britain in 1960, but a couple of military coups in 1966 stoked underlying ethnic tensions. In 1967, southern groups (led by the Igbo people, one of Nigeria’s three major ethnic groupings) declared the independent Republic of Biafra in Nigeria’s south. Nigeria refused to recognize the breakaway state, and a 3-year civil war ensued. All told, more than 1 million people lost their lives, many due to starvation. Biafra surrendered in 1970.

If this report can get IPOB terrorists their referendum and Biafra then let them go get it fast

pazienza:
Good to see that IPOB had really done enough to put Biafra on the international arena.

This is good.

Nigerian military declared the Biafra
separatist movement a terrorist group just a
few weeks ago—harkening back to a simpler
time when just wanting a homeland of one’s
own was enough to be labeled a terrorist.

Emma Powerful is this you? Please tell me what are we waiting for to develop an armed militia capabale of doing a mortal damage at the soul of Nigeria. Pardon me for asking this, I'm only convinced that Biafra will not come by peace, most especially under buhari. Buhari has closed every door of peaceful negotiations, and usually when peaceful negotiation becomes, impossible violent transaction becomes inevitable.

We better start thinking along this line so that we are not taking unawares!!!

castrogee:



My good friend it is really heartening what IPoB has achieved. What remains in this struggle is for IPoB to put up a contingent force capable of engaging in a guerrilla warfare and develop a series of precision attacks to take out most strategic interests of the FG.

MasterofNL:


If IPOB takes that route then they would have become a terrorist organization.

We don't want such.

castrogee:



Nope, believe me we wouldn't. There's a clause that approves arms struggle in UN charter on self determination. Yeah, we may remain peaceful for now, but time is coming 'fast' when we will need some violent exchanges.

Kazim88:


Even if US offer IPOB weapon and bullet they should not take it...

Armaments and war brings no one good.

Nigeria would sink naturally...

Nigeria is already on a collusion course with UK, US, EU over their refusal to recognize IPOB as a terrorist group...

Nigeria is now threatening world powers.... let them fight that war since they are hungry for war.
