Biafra and the Left: How British Leftist parties and others abandoned Biafrans to be slaughtered

Harold Wilson actively supported the massacre of Biafrans.

By Richard West

Vietnam, Greece and the plight of American Negroes are the three causes abroad that most inflame the British left. In Scandinavia, West Germany and probably most of Western Europe, the cause that most inflames the left is Biafra. Towards Biafra the British left is largely indifferent or hostile. The Labour government and most Labour MPS support the shipment of arms to Nigeria.

Epetition: British Government apologise for Biafran War Responsible department: Foreign and Commonwealth Office

After a pogrom of Igbos in Northern Nigeria, in May 1967 the Igbo people seceded from Nigeria and declared the establishment of the Republic of Biafra.
The British Government of the time demanded that Nigeria must stay as one country, despite huge religious, linguistic, and ethnic differences.
With British help, the Nigerian government blockaded Biafra in order to starve its population. Between 1966 and 1970 more then two million Igbo people were murdered in Biafra.
During the Biafran war the British Government was the main suppliers of arms to the Nigerian Army.
The present day British Government must apologise for it's predecessor's complicity in causing and sustaining the Biafran War.
