The architects of Biafra were correct in their frustration with the Nigerian government, which did not intervene as thousands of Ibos were massacred...Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed. As many as 6,000 a day starved to death once the federal government blockaded the ever diminishing Republic of Biafra. But Ojukwu refused to give up. The final death toll was estimated at between one and three million people.

We were founded in 1971by a group of French journalists and doctors. The doctors had worked for the Red Cross during the Biafra war, and were outraged at the fact that IHL prevented the Red Cross from speaking out against what was effectively a state policy of forced starvation and migration. . For many, silence has long been confused with neutrality, and has been presented as a necessary condition for humanitarian action.

As University undergraduates, their fanatical love for literature endeared them to their lecturers such as Obiwu who, in his poetry collection Rituals of the Sun, referred to Habila and Kan as his “literary soul-mates” in his acknowledgments.
