With the way the security situations currently is in Nigeria. Where one tribe is killing the others( mostly in the middle belts, Easthern, western part of Nigeria)unabated and the resistance from the other tribes are being squished like bug by the federal government forces and tag as terrorists.

my opinion, it's same as the Ugandan genocide where one tribe was killing the other. Could another Civil war brake out again?
Here are the countries that supported either side the last time Nigeria fought a Civil war:
Soviets and Americans supporting the same side. France, China, and Germany on the others. Israel switching sides. And even the Vatican showed up for the party. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

Edit!!!!
I can see that some people are clearly aggrieved. But, as you can see neither you nor I was birthed when this war happened.

What I wrote was inspired by wikipedia. So, if you think its inaccurate kindly contact the editor and request for an edit. If this is a misinformation, then dispel it with accurate information.

You hit a wrong wave on the side of Biafra. The following countries did not support Biafra: France, China, West Germany, Republic of South Africa, Rhodesia ( was not a country), Czechoslovakia, Spain, Portugal and Israel (was fighting war against Arab countries for its survival) in 1967. Zambia (which was independent country and formerly Northern Rhodesia) recognized Biafra so did Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Gabon. Please be mindful that recognition does not equal military support.

West Germany supplied all G3 assault rifles and Mercedes Benz trucks used by Nigerian army. All the Ak-47 used by Nigerian army was variant of Chinese made Ak-47. Austria supplied Nigeria army with Steyr trucks. Government of France, Portugal, Spain and Czechoslovakia did not support Biafra in any form because British lobbied them to stay away from the internal conflict in its former territory. However individual groups and persons from the aforementioned countries helped Biafra and some paid the ultimate prize. The greatest supplier of arms and ammunitions to Biafra was Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I can see your argument while I can't not agree/disagree with you. However I added the source that influenced my post. Can you backup your argument with a source that supports your claim? I'm only here for educational purposes, enable me learn more. Well they may not have supported with military but that doesn't mean they never supported the biafra

When I saw France didn't support Biafra then I knew this is a revisionist account.


France and all those aforementioned countries secretly or openly supported Biafra. Fact

Dont mind the op wey too mumu

He cant differentiate between self determination support & military support
Re: Countries That Supported Either Side The Last Time Nigeria Fought A civil war by Inteltower: 9:18pm On May 02, 2021
The Op clearly lacks insight

I guess u don't know what is military support & positional support

U think the countries enlisted under Biafra could bypass Britain or the existing international pre-colonial hold in the internal affairs of Nigeria

Its one thing to support a party because of fundamental rights its another thing to make provisions as a form of support for that party's liberation

Use ur head
As I know u are trying to discredit the gallant warfare by the Igbo's against many countries even when landlocked

Why would France support Biafra? Was Biafra a Francophone country? Did France colonize Nigeria? Again, France did not support Biafra in any way, shape or form during Nigeria/Biafra war. The silly craps and innuendos were propaganda generated by the western regional government of Nigeria to save face from its stupidity of fighting along side with Jihadists from northern region of Nigeria. Biafran military initial arsenal centered on old British Mark V rifles as well as Stern guns and M1Carbine from USA all of WW2 era supplied to Nigeria. There was no single French manufactured rifle in Biafra during the war. Biafra only source of field assault rifles came from Federal Republic of Nigeria.

So, you mean the French Ambassador that gave the revelation on Aljazeera lied?

Mr man, France was even a major supporter of Biafra because of oil.
