fugarlion: A missing aspect of the narrative concerns the ill-treatment meted out to minority groups within secessionist Biafra such as the Efik, Ijaw, Ogoja and Ibibio. It would be remiss not to remind that these groups were targeted along with Igbos in the northern part of the country during the explosions of communal violence in May 1966, as well as between September and October of that year. But they would later suffer persecution and human rights abuses at the hands of the largely Igbo Biafran Army |

WeneDiali:This is exactly the problem of Igbo which they don't understand even in their actions till today. How can you went into war by not first study the mode of so called world powers and you knew they were stakeholders. This is the different between Igbo and Yoruba. You use your brain not emotion to take action. 1 Like |

fugarlion:Okay, it's now day of IPOB propaganda? A missing aspect of the narrative concerns the ill-treatment meted out to minority groups within secessionist Biafra such as the Efik, Ijaw, Ogoja and Ibibio. It would be remiss not to remind that these groups were targeted along with Igbos in the northern part of the country during the explosions of communal violence in May 1966, as well as between September and October of that year. But they would later suffer persecution and human rights abuses at the hands of the largely Igbo Biafran Army When the Biafran occupiers began to lose ground, their paranoia increased. Each set back on the battlefield was blamed on saboteurs, and in the desperate circumstances of continual retreat, the policies of the Biafrans turned to draconian, inhumane solutions. The murder of non-Igbos intensified. In Abudu, over 300 bodies were found in the Ossiomo River and on 20 September 1967, many non-Igbos were slaughtered at Boji-Boji Agbor. And at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor non-Igbos were taken into custody by Biafran soldiers and transported in two lorries to a rubber plantation along the Uromi-Agbor Road where they were put to death. Newsweek, in one of its reports titled “The Resurrection of Biafra,” stated that “some of the worst massacres of the war, in fact, occurred when federal troops captured minority regions -where upon the minority tribesmen turned on the Ibos in bloody fury.” References: Centre for Research on Globalization / Centre de recherche sur la mondialisation.

muykem: That was how ojukwu failed, it was too late when he realized. You can't declare secession without the backing up of world powers. |

muykem: Oga how will they know? Ojukwu thought that he will be fighting the Nigerian army. He didn't know that other world powers will support them . By the way ,it was Nigeria that declared war on biafra and not the other way round. |
