Biafrans overwhelming shut down their country on this day of “stay-at-home”, Friday 23 September 2016, directed by the Indigenous People of Biafra freedom movement for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu (director of Radio Biafra and IPOB leader), currently detained illegally by genocidist Nigeria, and a reaffirmation of Biafrans’ march to restoration-of-independence; essentially, the people’s robust response to this IPOB appeal and organisation is a dress-rehearsal on a Biafra referendum for freedom

(Land of the Rising Sun: … freedom, restoration-of-independence)
(Nnamdi Kanu: ... must be released unconditionally)

(Sonny Rollins Trio, “The freedom suite” [personnel: Rollins, tenor saxophone; Oscar Pettiford, bass; Max Roach, drums; recorded: Riverside Records, New York, US, 7 March 1958])

About Me

My photo
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).
