REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA

The logic for Biafra has returned despite Nigeria’s so-called “No Victor, No Vanquished” post-war rhetoric

From Zamfara’s January 2000 introduction of Sharia Law, Islamic states have mushroomed in northern Nigeria.  Gombe in late 2001 implemented Sharia Law

The Nigerian Federal Government has demonstrated systematic disregard for the right to life of ordinary Biafrans, even as sectarian violence and hate campaigns increase in frequency

The strategic nexus of high level corruption, a militarized “democracy and state complicity in civilian massacres has convinced Biafran activists the Nigerian state is incapable of protecting their civil rights

Thus, Biafra is a response to the terrorism, cruelty, failure and utter lack of humanity represented by the Nigerian state

The proposed Biafran territory – subject to an initial referendum and perpetual constitutional right for its members to secede - is about 29,400 square miles

Since 1945, Biafran nationality groups have been subjected to repeated pogroms, harassment and dispossession of property.  The scale and frequency suggests genocide

Nigeria has experienced a creeping Islamization since the 1804 Jihad, only interrupted by the British colonial era, with Islamic radicals pursuing a goal of “dipping the Koran in the sea”
