A w@r where almost the whole world stood against one people… yet they surv!ved. History didn’t erase the Igbo. It revealed their strength.
During the Nigerian Civil W@r, it is important to remember who actively opposed Biafra and how deeply international interests shaped the conflict.
The w@r was not fought by Nigeria alone. Major ethnic blocs such as the Hausa-Fulani and sections of the Yoruba political elite aligned firmly against Biafra. Notably, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who controlled federal finances, supported the blockade that cut off food supplies to the Eastern Region, an action that worsened mass starvation among civilians.
Beyond internal actors, Britain played a decisive role by supplying Nigeria with @rms, amm√nit!on, and diplomatic backing. Other countries, including the Soviet Union, Egypt, and some Eastern European states, also provided military or strategic support to the Nigerian government. Prominent global powers treated the war as their own proxy battle, fighting with intensity far removed from the human cost on the ground.
In contrast, Biafra stood largely alone on the international stage. Israel was one of the very few countries that offered support, largely humanitarian and limited in scope. What unfolded was a war where almost the entire world stood against one people.
