European Union Replies Pro Biafra Agitators Over Calls For Biafraexit by Keziehenry(m): 1:34pm On Feb 05, 2017 |
Against the backdrop of the request by Biafra activists and the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS) for the referendum to be conducted on the independence of a republic of Biafra, the European Union (EU) has replied the agitators. Federica Mogherini, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security. Pro-Biafra activists earlier requested that the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, Federica Mogherini , wades into the need to conduct a referendum for Biafra’s independence. The call was made through the OEAS. The organisation also called for the release of those it described as 'Biafran political prisoners' and a stay of action by the Nigerian troops, and for quick referendum to be held within 90 days. In response to this request, Mogherini told Dr Jonathan Levy, the OEAS chief administrative officer, that while the EU has strong diplomatic and economic relationship with Nigeria, the “protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms remains a priority for the EU and we encourage the authorities [in Nigeria] in every occasion to respect such rights.” The EU further went on to caution the OEAS and Biafra agitators that the push for self-determination and border changes must be carried out within the ambits of the established international law. It added that the state of Biafra can only be recognized through the international law, and not through the armed secession. The OEAS had been pushing for an internationally recognized referendum on Biafra independence or autonomy. In the same vein, the OEAS advised that all nonviolent means should be utilized including general strikes, economic boycotts, work actions, demonstrations, lawsuits, and civil disobedience. The ILO recognizes the right to engage in general strikes and the right to strike is also recognized in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 (Article 8(1)(d)). Nigeria is a member of the International Labor Organization (ILO). Meanwhile, the former president Olusegun Obasanjo had continued to hit hard on Biafra agitators lashing out on the pro-Biafra movement describing it as dead agitation which was borne out of sheer ignorance and error of judgment . He added that those involved in the current agitation in support of Biafra were embarking on a hopeless and futile exercise, which no serious-minded Nigerian should ever become a part of.https://www.naij.com/701259-european-union-replies-pro-biafra-agitators-calls-biafrexit.html |

There are a number of separatist groups in Africa. In the South of Nigeria, the majority ethnic group, the Igbos and certain minorities who are comfortable with Igbo seek to secede from a Nigeria which they maintain is structurally skewed to benefit Northern Nigeria. The same Igbos and some minorities seceded from Nigeria in the late 60's which led to civil war. Right of secession- The Biafrans claim the 1914 amalgamation that created Nigeria was, and is still illegal. In Cameroon, English speaking Southern Cameroon seeks to secede from French speaking Republic of Cameroon as the "Republic Of Ambazonia" Right of secession- The southern Cameroonians vlaim that they were a 'British protectorate' that joined French Cameroon as a confederation. However trouble started when President Biya of Cameroon used a decree to change the name of the Country from 'The United Republics Of The Cameroons' to 'Republic Of Cameroon' thereby stripping Southern Cameroonians of their sovereinghty and making them an integral part of French Cameroon against their will. In Congo, a former Portuguese enclave wishes to secede from French Congo as the "Republic Of Cabinda" also sometimes refered to as 'Portuguese Congo'. Right of secession- The Cabinda people claim that they were a portuguese colony that was illegally incorporated into French Congo in 1975 after Angola got independence. 2 Likes |

ruggedised: Afonjas dont give a damn about Biafra. The people holding you down are the north. Be man enough to face your main captor. Yorubas will never help you. A Yoruba man in the Nigerian army will always be loyal to the Nigerian state. No matter how sympathetic he is to the Biafran cause, he will never support or join or fight for Biafra. Why? He is a Nigerian and not a Biafran! Get that into your thick skulls!! 1 Like |
