Biafra government operates lawfully inside Nigeria and in Diaspora while awaiting the resolution on UN Indigenous people of the world on Self-Determina...See More General Information BIAFRA, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a secessionist state in south-eastern Nigeria that existed from 30 May 1967 to 15 January 1970, taking its name from the Bight of Biafra (the Atlantic bay to its south).The inhabitants were mostly the Igbo people who led the secession due to economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions among the various peoples of Nigeria. The creation of the new country was among the complex causes for the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. Land of the Rising Sun was chosen for Biafras national anthem, and the state was formally recognised by Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Zambia. Other nations which did not give official recognition but which did provide support and assistance to Biafra included Israel, France, Portugal, Rhodesia, South Africa and the Vatican City. Biafra also received aid from non-state actors, including Joint Church Aid, Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, Caritas International, MarkPress and U.S. Catholic Relief Services. After three years of war and the loss of more than two million lives, the nascent republic lost its struggle for independence and was reabsorbed into Nigeria in January 1970. The leader of the republic, Oxford-trained General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, went into exile, but later returned to Nigeria in 1983 under special pardon. In 1969 Biafra adopted one of the most progressive national constitutions in Africa at the time. The Constitution or Principles drew heavily from traditional communal modes of governance but was also informed by progressive political developments in other parts of the world in the 1960s, and the ideology of Non-alignment adopted by several postcolonial states during the Cold War. It also provided a platform for the country to criticise the West for its role in the plight of the rest of the world and to set out the ideals of the young nation. As history has taken long space, the formal Leader died later in 2011, and the people keep suffering in a corrupt and weak governments of Nigeria, where the Biafrans’ lives are been sacrificed daily, hence they currently activated their struggle for self-free government, and with various organizations have collectively lodged their petition lawfully and officially before the United Nations, under the UN Charter for Indigenous people of the world on Self-Determination with a stronger name to determine their unity as a people. While awaiting the outcome of the UN, the GOVERNMENT of UNITED STATES OF BIAFRA exists temporarily in Nigeria. The government shall be the 55 fully recognized sovereign states and dependent territories in Africa states by the UN and the reactivated old country in West Africa when granted.
