Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe, “The Nigerian
state, Igbo genocide and the Africom”, Tensões Mundiais/World
Tensions, Vol 17, No 13, December 2012, pp 155-168.
In “The Nigerian state, Igbo
genocide and Africom” (see link below), Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe critically examines the Igbo genocide,
the foundational genocide of post-(European)conquest Africa, and its
consequences on contemporary Africa. The results have been catastrophic.
Ekwe-Ekwe demonstrates the glaring inability of the state in Africa to fulfil
its basic role to the peoples and concludes that the way out for Africa is for
constituent peoples to construct democratic and extensively decentralised new
states that guarantee and safeguard human rights and freedom for the people and
individual.
