Starvation and Secession: The Biafra Story - War and Conflict stories

The Biafran War (Nigerian Civil War 1967–1970) was one of Africa's deadliest conflicts — up to 3 million lives lost, mostly from starvation and blockade. Discover the full untold story: ethnic tensions, secession, famine, international involvement, and lessons for today. In this Untold African Wars documentary, we explore how post-independence Nigeria fractured after the 1966 coups and anti-Igbo pogroms, leading Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu to declare the Republic of Biafra. From early offensives to the shrinking enclave, kwashiorkor crisis, Uli Airport airlifts, and final surrender — we cover the human cost, resilience, and "no victor, no vanquished" aftermath.
