John Pilger On British Hypocrisy During The Biafran War by Naijiant: 11:20pm On Sep 03, 2019
A picture of Harold Wilson, the British prime minister during the Nigerian civil war – 1967 to 1970 – has emerged on social media, with him allegedly saying that half a million dead Biafrans wouldn’t result in a change of British policy from supporting the Nigerian side against the Biafran rebels.

It is not quite clear if Wilson actually said this and where, but journalist, documentary-maker and author John Pilger shed more light on British policies during the civil war in his book “Hidden Agendas”. Australian Pilger was the British Daily Mirror’s war correspondent and reported from Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh and Biafra.

He wrote: In the 1960s, the Wilson Government, far from promoting human rights around the world, supported the American invasion of Vietnam, sold arms to racist South Africa and armed and conspired with the Nigerian military regime to crush Biafra.

It's how the world works. You snooze you lose. Until the black man learns this fact, he will continue to be dependent and bottom feeder in the world of sharks.
