Biafra Secession and Civil War

The video discusses the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafra War, which began 50 years ago. It highlights the ethnic and political tensions that led to the war, including the dominance of certain ethnic groups and military coups. The declaration of Biafra's independence by the Igbo people sparked a civil war that lasted over two years, resulting in over a million deaths, mostly from famine. Despite the war's end, the idea of Biafra persists, with modern separatist movements like IPOB continuing to push for independence. The video also touches on human rights issues and the potential for future tensions.
