BIAFRA NEWS : Biafra referendum binding statement under Int’l law – OEAS

 


Amid the controversy over the acclaimed referendum organised by Simon Ekpa-led pro-Biafra agitation, the Organization of Emerging African States has said that the results of the referendum shall be a binding definitive statement from Biafrans under international laws.

 reports that whereas the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, the Biafra Zionists Federation, BZF, and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, are still calling for referendum, the Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, BRGIE, is boasting to have been conducting referendum online.

Director of OEAS, Ebenezer Akwanga, in a 6-point resolution dated June 24, 2024, sighted by  POSTon Thursday, said the BRGIE referendum further consolidated the self-determination pursuit of the people of Biafra amid decades of alleged marginalization by the Nigerian government.

According to him, it endorsed BRGIE’s self-referendum, a quest which kicked off through e-voting in February 2024 and is expected to be concluded on November 29, 2024.

It also justified its recognition of the Biafra Referendum on the basis that BRGIE recently submitted a request for self-determination to the African Union.

“The African Charter of Human and Peoples Rights Guarantees the Right to Self Determination.

“Biafra has submitted a request to the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights to assist with the referendum and peaceable transfer of power to the Republic of Biafra, if so, indicated by the results.

“The OEAS is satisfied with the integrity of the referendum which is being conducted digitally and at local polling stations and is subject to multiple safeguards.

“The results of the referendum will be certifiable and will meet international standards; Millions of Biafrans have already voted in the referendum which is due to be concluded November 29, 2024.

“The results of the Biafra Self Referendum shall be considered binding under international law as a definitive statement of the intentions and aspirations of the Biafran people,” Akwanga stated.

The development comes barely a month after the Simon Ekpa-led BRGIE dragged the Nigeria Government to AU over the continued detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and for the acceptance of the Biafra referendum.

He claimed that the declaration of Biafra Liberation on December 2, 2024, will bring lasting peace, and stability to West Africa.

However, only a few days ago, Kanu accepted to enter into a negotiation with the Federal Government in order to secure his freedom.

The development has heightened demand for a political solution to Kanu’s incarceration, with over 50 federal lawmakers backing the request.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
