 There Is No Internal War In Biafraland - Chinasa Nworu

The above headline is one of the many points raised by Mazi Chinasa Nworu during his special and educative broadcast of 25th of September 2022, on Radio Biafra.

Judging from recent occurrences, several persons have been of the notion that the unrest in Igbo speaking region of BiafraLand is war. This is very wrong, and must be countered adequately. There have truly been series of killings, abductions and burning of properties in some states of the region, and most parts have not known peace for long now, as a result, but it is not war.

When you want to describe such friction as Internal War, it should be that it is between two neighboring communities, towns or states within the geographical boundary. For instance, if there is a conflict between Anambra State and Enugu State(both of the Igbo speaking Biafra region) or between Aguleri and Umueri, which are both communities in one state, Anambra, such is internal war. Most times, power and land draggings are usually the cause for internal frictions.

However, the current case in the said region of  Biafraland is not the same. If there was anything of such, it is in the far past. But presently, there is absolute peace in the land, in that respect.

What has been happening in the land(Biafraland) since of recent, is a clear act of terrorism. A method employed by the federal government of Nigeria to conquer the "stubborn" Igbo nation that have refused to give out their land to the murderous fulani herdsmen for Rural Grazing Area(RUGA). This Biafran's refusal is borne out of the understanding that the Fulanis need these settlements to help them in the quick facilitation of their conquest and Islamization of all Nigeria states.

In wars, there is usually attacks and counter attacks from both sides, done with everything possible weapons within the fighters' reach. Such is not the case in Igboland. It is only the Nigeria military that are attacking and doing all the killings, without any record of a single reprisal from the being attacked and oppressed Igbos. The combined Nigeria Forces kill the Biafrans at will, stop whenever they are tired, and return back to continue another day.

These combined forces includes Ebubeagu, Police, Army, Air Force, and some criminal gangs.  All of whom are being politically engineered by the Nigeria government to kill Biafrans, in a bid to weaken agitation for a separate free Biafra Nation, championed by the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB)

To say there is internal war means that the igbos are fighting themselves with guns, state by state and community by community, which is not true. There is no Internal War in Biafraland. It is the Nigeria government that is terrorising Biafra region. They are deploying battalions of their military, which are made up of 60% incorporated terrorist boko haram fighters, reintegrated from the prisons to attack and burn down communities and villages, including markets, in Biafraland .

The only offence of the the region is that the people have acknowledged their true identity as Biafrans, and as a result, want to leave the British enclave(Nigeria) via a well monitored referendum. But, unfortunately, those  overseeing the affairs of Nigeria government cannot differentiate between Referendum and War.

There is no war of any kind in Biafraland, it is a government sponsored confusion, terrorism attacks that are aimed to conquer my people and totally abort Biafra from our minds.
