So what's the issue? France supported the Biafrans during the civil war and yet the Biafrans lost woefully. Biafrans keep saying Nigeria win the war because the British supported Nigeria. What a joke. Cowards

They asked you to provide a CREDIBLE academic source and you're giving us Wikipedia that even my 12 year old brother can easily edit?

Secondly, even if the list of those countries that supported Biafra is true which I doubt cause only 4 countries recognized Biafra (Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Zambia and Haiti), then those countries just gave Biafra *de facto* and unofficial diplomatic support/sympathies and nothing more. Biafra especially at the early stage of the conflict, only managed few mercenaries who were contracted for just few months... since Ojukwu lacked the funds to keep paying them, many of the mercenaries simply packed up and left. The only major foreign mercenaries that fought honorably with Biafra were Major Taffy Williams, Rolf Steiner and some Swedish pilot that helped us fly our minion transport relief carrier planes that were customized and fitted for war purposes.

France gave Biafra only MINIMAL military support, that's what younger generations of Nigerians due to lack of substantial history been taught in our school curriculums fail to understand. The little support Biafra from France came rather belatedly, sometime around late 1968...the recapture of Owerri from Federal hands among other towns that were recaptured came around around that time when we some supplies from France... Yet throughout the war, Biafra never amassed 1/10th of the armada of limitless war machines and supplies the Nigerian side had.

If you ever saw or sat in the four walls of a classroom, you would know that using Wikipedia to reference your academic sources or citations indicts the credibility of your IQ in itself. I can easily go on Wikipedia right now and edit Buhari's names to Muhammadu Buhari Chukwudi Kanu...
