Background
The Biafra movement is a secessionist movement that seeks to create an independent state of Biafra from Nigeria. The movement has its roots in the 1967-1970 Biafran War, during which the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria attempted to secede from the country. The war ended with the defeat of the Biafran forces and the death of millions of people. Today, the Biafra movement is led by Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which has been accused of violence and terrorism by the Nigerian government.
