Biafra II: The Igbo’s are being killed again.

by Eze Eluchie,

Well over 45 years after the Biafra genocide was supposed to have ended, sequel to military agreements ending the Nigeria – Biafra Civil War in January 1970, military and security personnel under the command of Nigeria’s self acclaimed ‘devout Muslim’ ruler of Fulani origin, Muhammadu Buhari, have embarked upon a systematic brutal annihilation of demonstrators desirous of resuscitating efforts at ensuring the emergence of Biafra.

With the continued killing of peaceful protesters agitating for the restructuring and renegotiation of the Nigerian contraption, the Nigeria military and security forces murdering innocent people of Igbo ethnic nationality in Aba, (Abia State, south eastern Nigeria) and its environs, are fast losing any claims to the rank of a people’s army and merely constituting themselves into a brutal army of occupation that must be resisted.

The Right to self determination is an enshrined fundamental right which often times intensifies in the face of efforts to suppress the right by using such vile instruments as violent repression and murder.

The Nigerian Government, under the headship of Mr. Buhari is hereby enjoined to stop the murder of peaceful protesters and ensure that the basic rights of persons living in Nigeria are respected and protected.  It is hoped that descent into full scale violence is avoided.

The likelihood of the Nigerian State surviving a new vista of violence alongside the ongoing terrorist insurgency in the Northern region championed by Boko Haram, the perennial systematic ethnic cleansing being perpetuated by Fulani herdsmen in the Middle Belt region and the restiveness of youths in the oil-rich Niger Delta region is quite remote.  

Restructure and Renegotiate the Nigeria contraption whilst there is yet a time for such a venture to be undertaken in peace.
