Biafran refugees

Biafran refugees are people who fled Nigeria during the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970), caused by the secession of the Eastern region, which aimed to form the independent state of Biafra. They escaped violence, famine, and persecution, seeking safety in neighboring countries and abroad. Many faced difficult conditions as displaced persons, living in refugee camps or exile. Their plight highlights the human cost of political conflict and ethnic tensions, emphasizing the importance of humanitarian aid and international support to those affected by war and displacement.
