Why is the archbishop of Canterbury conspicuously silent on the ongoing Igbo genocide?

(Justin Welby... archbishop of Canterbury: conspicuous silence)

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

SINCE November 2015, during the course of the fiendish génocidaire Muhammadu Buhari regime in Nigeria, imposed in office by ex-US President Barack Hussein Obama, first African-descent president of the United States in 233 years of the founding of the republic, and ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron, over 3000 Igbo people have been murdered across Biafra in stepped up scorched earth campaigns by the Nigeria military and its adjunct Fulani militia and Boko Haram terrorists (latter are 2 of the world’s 5 deadliest terrorist groups presently).*****

Sixty per cent of the 3000 murdered Igbo have occurred in Onicha and neighbouring towns and villages of southwest Biafra. These are all located in the Onicha diocese of the Anglican communion, part of the Church of England, one of this Christian denomination’s largest population districts in the world. Ninety-six per cent of Igbo are Christians and about 45 per cent of these protestant and overwhelming majority Anglican. 

NEITHER the Church of England nor its head, Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, who has known Muhammadu Buhari personally since the former enjoyed an exponentially-lucrative post working for French oil company Elf Aquitaine in the early 1980s in the petroleum oil industry in Biafra’s Oshimili Delta, occupied by genocidist Nigeria since January 1970, has condemned any of these Igbo slaughters since it began or offered public condolences to the aggrieved and traumatised Anglican communion congregants... 

Welby has undoubtedly aligned his church to the the key sectors of the British establishment, including, especially, business/finance, academia and the media (except, of course, the British Broadcasting Corporation which has sustained its unenviable position as genocidist Nigeria’s external services’ broadcaster in these past 53 years of the Igbo genocide –  https://re-thinkingafrica.blogspot.com/2015/12/bbc-nationalists-or-secessionists.html) which have chosen total silence on the Igbo genocide, this longest genocide in contemporary history, as their mode of support for the prosecuting Anglo-Nigerian genocidists.  

(*****The 3000 Igbo murdered are part of the tens of thousands Igbo the Anglo-Nigerian genocidists have murdered in phase-IV of the ongoing Igbo genocide, beginning 13 January 1970. In phases I-III, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970, the dual-genocidists murdered 3.1 million Igbo or one-quarter of this nation’s population at the time.)
