The misleading narrative presented to the United Nations and the world regarding the Biafran people and Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu by the British government falsely labelled the Biafrans as rebels. This portrayal contributed to the genocide committed against the indigenous people of Biafra by Britain, Nigeria, and other allies around the globe.
This unjustifiable massacre of pregnant women, helpless children, and individuals of all ages was carried out in an effort to annihilate the Igbo race by Britain completely. This act stemmed from Britain's anger towards the Indigenous Igbos, who led the fight for Nigeria's independence. This struggle ultimately resulted in only nominal independence, as Britain continued to oversee all activities in Nigeria as the colonial power.
The British government that prevented the Northern caliphate from implementing the resolutions of the "Aburi Accord," which was hosted by General J.A. Ankrah, the then Chairman of the Ghana Liberation Council, also played a role in the Biafran genocide. This interference was motivated by the British desire for others to help them take revenge on the Igbos for their role in leading Nigeria to independence. The British believed that Nigerian independence would limit their access to total control over Nigeria's resources.
After failing to achieve that aim of eliminating the Indigenous Biafran people, they again instigated the seizure of all the properties, investments and finances of the Biafrans, as was reported by the "Independent newspaper of Wednesday the 8th of January 1971".
This same hate of the British government has lasted till date as they have continued to kill and marginalize the Biafran people for demanding equity, fairness, justice and independence.
Britain is the world's most hypocritical and corrupted nation that claims to be among the world's police.
