The Nigerian-Biafran War



The Nigerian-Biafran War, instigated by Nigeria upon Biafra’s declaration of independence, was fought almost entirely in the southeastern area of the country.

From the onset of the war, Biafran forces were totally outnumbered and lacked the necessary weaponry to effectively engage in battle. The Nigerian forces attacked them by land, air and sea, encircling them and isolating them. They implemented an economic blockade against Biafra, resulting in the destruction of their agricultural industry and leading to mass starvation; some argue genocide. In 1968, the Red Cross determined that 14,000 people were dying each day in Biafra. They tried to send in help, but the Nigerian government obstructed their access to relief agencies.

To add insult to injury, powerful foreign governments – those that had no significant conflict with Biafra – were using the war as a testing ground for their soldiers and weapons. Both the Soviets and the United Arab Republic used Biafra for their own inhumane purposes. The Russians in particular were flying missions over the country using their latest MIG fighter jets. This was not unlike Fascist forces, before World War II, using the Spanish Civil War for military testing purposes. But most damaging of all to Biafra’s efforts was when Nigeria recaptured the Rivers state. This was an area that enabled them to cut off Biafra’s oil revenue – their direct source for financing the war. Furthermore, Nigeria cut of all food supplies, telephone lines, postal services and flights to the Biafra region, fully crippling the Ibo people. It was a truly sinister move with devastating consequences.

On January 6, 1970, the Biafran army lost a battle at Owerri, one of their significant strongholds. This would be an important signal that the state’s collapse was imminent.
