5th of November 2012 is the date of kick off according to a pro-Biafra group, Biafra Zionist Movement, BZM, which announced yesterday that it had commenced the process to launch the struggle for a State of Biafra with the international community.

Is this the drums of war? This came as Conference of Igbo Youth Organizations, CIYO, warned that Ndigbo “would no longer watch in silence while our brothers and sisters are slaughtered like animals” in the Northern States.

The National President of BZM, Benjamin Onwuka says: “As we approach the end of 13 years since the mobilization and struggle for Biafran Independence began under the aegis of MASSOB and other groups, the people of Biafra have not made much effort in realizing our dreams because the struggle has been internalized since 1999,” Onwuka said.

He expressed regrets that the international community did not know the aspirations of the Biafra people, saying “Biafra must therefore be internationalized because the forces preventing the dreams for our independence are vested in the United Kingdom. Biafra can only be achieved when we secure the support of the United States of America; the day USA comes to our side, that day we shall be free from Nigeria; the story of South Sudan where a bloody civil war was fought for over 24 years is a typical example.”

Na wa oh....We need peace in the country, but do we really have to war for it?
