About Me
- Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe
- Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe is specialist on the state and on genocide & wars in Africa in the post-1966 epoch – beginning with the Igbo genocide, 29 May 1966-present day, the foundational and most gruesome genocide of post-(European)conquest Africa. 3.1 million Igbo or 25 per cent of this nation’s population were murdered by Nigeria and its allies, principally Britain. Africa and the rest of the world largely stood by and watched as the perpetrators enacted this horror most ruthlessly. The world could have stopped this genocide; the world should have stopped this genocide. This genocide inaugurated Africa’s current age of pestilence. During the period, 12 million additional Africans have been murdered in further genocide in Rwanda (1994), Zaïre/DRCongo (variously, since the late 1990s) and Darfur – west of the Sudan – (since 2004) and in other wars in Africa. African peoples have, presently, no other choice but exit/dismantle the extant genocide-state (the bane of their existence & progress) & construct own nation-centred states that serve their interests. He is author of several books & papers on the subject and his new book is entitled The longest genocide – since 29 May 1966 (2019).

ReplyDeleteHi Prof, I must confess to you that I shed tears, not because of what happened in the past, or the normal evocative feelings, but because I was reconnected to my past, via recently found invaluable YouTube videos. I suddenly found, at my disposal, the video of your highly articulated speech on Chris Okigbo. That same night, I watched other videos, including those of Ojukwu and Nzeogwu - people whom, I have read about but never thought I could see their faces and expressions. I am a young Igbo man, have always had strong passion for my people, experienced my own share of our pain because I grew up in northern Nigeria. I'm currently a postgraduate student in the UK.
