Forty
three years after the Civil War, the Americans have released their
21,000 pages of diplomatic dispatches by agents of the United States
government.
We’ve combed through them all to reveal the Biafra story, the way never done before.
Read
about the accounts of prominent individuals like Chief Richard
Akinjide, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu himself, General
Olusegun Obasanjo and others on the war.
Read
Zik’s story on why Ojukwu hated him; why Akinjide said Ojukwu suffered
from megalomania; the reasons Ojukwu gave for killing Victor Banjo and
others.
Read about the role of a Catholic reverend father, Kevin Doheny, Ojukwu’s intelligence director.
Read why former head of state, then Lt. Col. Murtala Mohammed, wrote a letter to General Yakubu Gowon, saying:
“One
wonders at times: why fight to keep Nigeria as one country if two and
half million people in a state of the country cannot live together
happily…?”
