- The Nigerian Civil War, often shrouded in the dust of history, remains a haunting chapter in the nation's past, echoing with the cries of millions caught in the crossfire. This brutal conflict, also known as the Biafra War, tore Nigeria apart from 1967 to 1970, pitting brother against brother in a desperate struggle for survival and self-determination.
As the world watched, millions of lives were lost, many to starvation, in what became one of the most tragic humanitarian crises of the 20th century.
In this episode of African Biographics, we cover the Nigerian Civil War, diving into the heart of the conflict and exploring how a nation could descend into such profound division and bloodshed.
