The Ahiara Declaration: The principles of the Biafran Revolution (9293 words) |
 | We do not claim that the Biafran revolution is the first attempt in history by the Negro to assert his identity, to claim his right and proper place as a human being on a basic of equality with the white and yellow races. |
| Biafrans are even more united by the desire to create a new and better order of society which will satisfy their needs and aspirations. |
| All Biafrans who are going to play a role in the promotion of the revolution, especially those who are going to operate the institutions of the new society, must first of all expose themselves to the ideology of the revolution. |
| Case Study (1134 words) |
| Mounting ethnic tension between these groups caused the Biafrans - the Ibos and other minority ethnic groups - in the south-eastern region to fight for their independence from the federation only 6 years after Nigeria gained its independence from British rule. |
| Biafrans retaliated by taking control of strategic points in the mid-western region. |
| U.S. and European relief organizations, private groups and religious groups came to the assistance of the Biafrans in response to Biafran propaganda stressing the genocide of the Ibo. |
