A Biafran soldier seen here carrying an injured comrade during the Biafra conflict

A Biafran soldier seen here carrying an injured comrade during the Biafra conflict. 11th June 1968.
The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War endured for two and a half years, from 6 July 1967 to 15 January 1970, and was fought to counter the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. The indigenous Igbo people of Biafra felt they could no longer co-exist with the Northern-dominated federal government following independence from Great Britain. Political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions finally boiled over into civil war following the 1966 military coup, then counter-coup, which led to the persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role in the causes of the war.
Within a year, the Nigerian Military Government had surrounded Biafra and imposed a blockade. The ensuing stalemate led to a severe famine in the region Over the two and half years of the conflict varying estimates of one to two million people died from starvation, diseases or fighting
