Call It Genocide

The callous mass murder of the Christian Ibo people in Biafra was an atrocity that must never be forgotten. My personal involvement in the efforts to save Biafran refugees revealed the horror of the deliberate eradication of innocent civilians Those who perpetrated this horror were driven by a demonic ideology and greed. They wanted the huge oil reserves located in Biafra and gave their support to the more numerous enemies of the Biafran people. The Biafrans put up a heroic struggle, but the combined arms of the Nigerian government, the Soviets and the British were too much. Defeat came in 1970, followed by slaughter and brutal repression. The world forgot...Who knows about this genocide today? Very few....I am one of them, and I will never forget.
