Today in Labor History December 24, 1969: Nigerian troops captured Umuahia, the Biafran capital, leading to the end of Biafran independence. Igbo nationalists in the southeastern region of Nigeria seceded from Nigeria in 1967 and created the independent state Biafra, which existed from May 1967 to January 1970. Many nations recognized Biafra or provided support, including Tanzania, Zambia, France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia and South Africa. Doctors Without Borders provided medical support. Nigeria, however, never accepted their independence. In the civil war that followed succession, as many as 100,000 people died. However, the Nigerian naval blockade of Biafra resulted in 2 million deaths by starvation. In 1999, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra emerged as a nonviolent means toward re-independence. They have organized numerous peaceful protests, which the Nigerian government has attacked, leading to many deaths.

“How is it that UK governments can be consistently complicit in genocide overseas?”

“Few know much about the Nigerian Civil War; even many Nigerians prefer to forget it. While the world was focused on Vietnam, Biafra seceded from Nigeria, launching a war that lasted almost three years and led to millions of deaths, most of which were children.
