Map Of Biafra And Nigeria

I say this not as a spokesperson for the region, but as an informed resident of the region. Biafra ceased to exist as an independent state in january 1970. This paper, first presented in 1968 in uganda, addresses the larger issues which he felt were behind the civil war in nigeria.

Its coast was on the gulf of guinea of the south atlantic ocean in. Rubbish, who told you edo and deltalites are part of biafra. Biafra, secessionist western african state that unilaterally declared its independence from nigeria in may 1967.

The former republic of biafra was made up of over 29,848 square miles (77,310 km 2) of land.

Most of us are familiar with the biafra map of between may 30, 1967 and january 15, 1970 (the old biafra.) but i wonder how many of us have contemplated what the map of the new biafra will look like. And with all that is going on with yaradua, his lame duck presidency, niger delta crises and the new interest of the west in. In the old map many natural biafran geographies were excluded such as biafra lands on the west bank of the niger. However, the niger delta region does not appear to be seeking to remain in biafra any longer.
