PoliticsRe: (PICS) Countries That Supported Either Side During Civil War by QuotaSystem(op):
From 1968 onward, the war fell into a lengthy stalemate, with Nigerian forces unable to make significant advances into the remaining areas of Biafran control. The blockade of surrounded Biafra led to a humanitarian and propaganda disaster when it emerged that there was widespread civilian hunger and starvation in the besieged Igbo areas. An over used tactic of the Nigerian forces had been the sabotage of farmland, and this was now beginning to affect Biafra’s population. Images of starving Biafran children went around the world. The Biafran government claimed that Nigeria was using hunger and genocide to win the war, and sought aid from the outside world.

Many world organised volunteer bodies organised blockade-breaking relief flights into Biafra, carrying food, medicines, and sometimes (it was claimed) weapons. Nigeria also claimed that the Biafran government was hiring foreign mercenaries to extend and lengthen the war.

In September 1968, the F.M.G. planned what General Gowon described as the "final offensive." However, initially the final offensive was held back by the Biafran troops. Although in the latter stages, a Southern F.M.G. offensive managed to break through the fierce resistance.

PoliticsRe: (PICS) Countries That Supported Either Side During Civil War by QuotaSystem(op):
Biafra was quick to realise that air power was to play a major part in the confrontation that lay ahead, and were secretly publicise to the world that they were looking for aircraft and mercenary pilots to fly them. Being isolated they had realised that they would need transportation to supply their new country with food as well as weapons. Word also went out that they were looking for high profile mercenary leaders to help the fighting on the ground and soldiers like Frenchman Bob Denard were approached, but with no luck. Mike Hoare is reported to have visited both sides, but was unable to offer assistance to either, As the famous 5th Commando that he had led successfully in the Congo a couple of years earlier had just been disbanded. Other names thrown around was Alister Wicks who was in Rhodesia at the time, Peters who was in London and Schroeder who was in South Africa, all three had been serving officers during the Congo Conflict.

Later Frenchman Captain Robert Faulques who had also served in the Congo arrived in Biafra as an advance party for a further 100 strong contingent of French mercenaries. It started to look like the old military rivalry between Britain and France was once again starting to rear its ugly head. Britain, although not openly acknowledging the fact, were supporting Nigeria, with both military hardware and political advice. While France was throwing its weight behind Biafra, by secretly supplying arms and trying to recruit a large mercenary army to fight against them, but the army never materialised. After many false starts and then with a samll group of mercenaries already signed up, for reasons unknown it was later cancelled.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE

MERCENARY WARS |
Biafra 1966

"On 26th May 1967 the Eastern region voted to secede from Nigeria. Then on the 30th May, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Eastern Region's military governor, announced the Republic of Biafra, citing the Easterners killed in the post-coup violence. To make matters worse the large amount of oil in the region created conflict throughout the whole country, as oil was a major component of the Nigerian economy. Biafra was poorly equipped for war, being out manned, and out gunned by the F.M.G. However, they had the advantage of fighting in their homeland, and the support of most Easterners.

The following is the statement declaring the secession. I, Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, by virtue of the authority, and pursuant to the principles, recited above, do hereby solemnly proclaim that the territory and region known as and called Eastern Nigeria together with her continental shelf and territorial waters shall henceforth be an independent sovereign state of the name and title of "The Republic of Biafra".

In response to the declaration, on 6th July, 1967 the F.M.G. launched what they called "police measures" to annex the Eastern Region now calling its self Biafra. Their initial efforts were unsuccessful, as Biafra successfully launched their own counter offensive, and by August 1967 they had taken land in the Mid-Western Region of Nigeria. However, by October 1967 the Nigerians had regained the land after intense fighting"

How could u believe no check point there? Even here in Kebbi they're checkpoints everywhere, why do you bloody southerners even believe we don't have checkpoints in the north why?
There are several checkpoints in the north. We both know it and other sensible Nigerians do too.

However, reliable sources report that checkpoints in South East Nigeria have been totally abolished and the soldiers are scampering for safety.

That calls to question the claims of the ipob lawyer that said Nigerian commandos stopped him on his way and smashed his car despite flaunting the intimidating Biafran flag.

We must stop orchestrated FAKE news against our military.

PoliticsFake News? Lawyer's Car Smashed For Carrying Biafra Flag by QuotaSystem(op): 6:41pm On May 03, 2021
A suspected piece of FAKE news is making the rounds that a lawyer's vehicle was smashed by Nigerian Soldiers for displaying a Biafran flag. The "news" made the front page.

https://www.nairaland.com/6536054/soldiers-smashed-lawyers-car-imo

What makes this highly doubtful are the following:

1) Information from sources on the ground in the SE, indicate that there are no checkpoints in the east. Make no mistake. ZERO checkpoints. They have all been sacked by ESN.

2) These reliable sources further emphasised that the "Zoo army" are massively redeploying and even afraid to wear their uniforms in the East. It is therefore difficult if not impossible to believe that this same "coward zoo Army" were bold enough to stop a vehicle clearly displaying a Biafran flag, without fear that the occupants would most likely be armed IPOB/ESN warriors.

The victim (lawyer) whose name is yet to be known disclosed in a video that the incident happened while on his way to a neighboring town.

He said he was accosted by men of the Nigerian Army and when he stopped, they smashed his car simply because they saw a Biafran flag in the car.
Stop spreading fake news.

Its one of the many falsehoods peddled for many years, that decree 34 abolished Regionalism. It did not.

The simple way to know this is that all 4 Regions were existing and had resource control even on the day Ironsi died

The only thing Decree 34 dud was standardise the civil service
wordcat:
Why were there still regional Governors during and 8months & some weeks after the death of Ironsi?
Whoever fully implemented Ironsi's plan after his death is totally irrelevant to the meat of the matter - that Aguiyi Ironsi promulgated Decree 34 - the unification decree - the instrument through the regions were abolished.

What was Ironsi unifying? Kiss the truth kiss

Idiko1:
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.
Did France and Belgium support Biafra militarily or not?

Buhari that publicly supported the establishment of Sharia/Islamic law in ALL states of the federation in 2001 won election and reelection in 2015 as well as 2019 without renouncing ANY of his ambitions.

It only when it comes to Igbo turn in Nigeria people like amaechi2023 form hard man, hard man.

Make dem go sleep, Nigeria is not named after them.
That's because Buhari, despite the Sharia baggage, was able to gain the votes of the majority (north and parts of SW). If Sharia loathing Igbos were in the majority, he would never have neared Aso Rock.

To win the Presidency, you must win northern votes. You cannot be ipob and smell northern votes. Simple logic so dead the thought.

Nigeria media and agenda.

How is it that in Igboriam, Fulanis were killed and all news reported it that Fulani herdsmen killed Igbo men?

In Ebonyi also, communal clashes was first blamed on Fulani herdsmen.

Suddenly now, because the men arrested are obviously not of Northern extraction, they are unknown.

So you've also noticed.

Igbo Gunmen would be the right appellation but of course they wouldn't. Yet they expect northerners to listen to their pleas for equity. Lol.
