The Biafra freedom movement continues to challenge and override
the cardinal tenets that define comparable liberatory trajectories of
contemporary history. It has remained fiercely peaceful and resilient despite
the scorched-earth savagery of the Nigeria genocidist military and its Boko
Haram and Fulani militia allies – the genocidists have murdered 2000 Igbo since
October 2015 with scant condemnation from the rest of the world including
co-genocidist ally Britain.
USUALLY, a liberation movement “returns home” on the morrow of
victory! No, not the Biafra freedom movement which is already emplaced
throughout Biafra, as the world observes, setting up structures and processes
of restoration-of-independence before formal restoration... Scholars and students
of liberation are gasping to catch up with learning what new breaks or
departures this movement is teaching the rest of the world on how to deal with
anti-human regimes especially the genocidist caste à la Nigériana.
