�The Igbo/Biafran Holocaust (That the world may know)� (Tues, 3 August 1999 01:57:58 � 0500 (CDT))
There can be no compromise! There can be no excuses! There can be no apologies! Lies will not suffice! The debt can never be repaid! The world must not be allowed to forget! The guilt of the world will remain from now till eternity.

For more than 30 years now there has been a conspiracy by BRITAIN, NIGERIA and the world to cover up one of the most atrocious, barbaric and most inhumane acts ever committed in the 20th century. This GENOCAUST (genocide and holocaust) can only be compared to the �JEWISH HOLOCAUST�.
Why is this dastardly act never mentioned in history books, periodicals, journals, etc.? Why this conspiracy of silence? What is Britain, Nigeria and the world trying to hide? Why is it that those who engineered and masterminded this most evil act are still free men? Why is it that these men who committed crimes against humanity are still allowed to visit Western Nations and even hold meetings with the heads of state of these countries? Is there a double standard being applied to the victims of this GENOCAUST (Genocide and Holocaust)?
IF THESE VICTIMS WERE WHITE, WOULD THE WORLD CONTINUE WITH THIS CONSPIRACY?
On a press release on Sunday, November 17, 1968, Senator Kennedy had this to say:
�Decisions by our government relating to the civil war and massive destruction of human life in Nigeria-Biafra must not be lost in the mechanics of political transition, and cannot wait for the coming of a new Administration.
�The loss of life from starvation continues at more than 10,000 persons per day � over 1,000,000 lives in recent months. Without emergency measures now, the number will climb to 25,000 per day within a month � and some 2,000,000 deaths by the end of the year. The new year will only bring greater disaster to a people caught in the passion of fratricidal war. Crop exhaustion in combat areas will put over 8,000,000 men, women and children in the clutches of total starvation.
�Numerous reports to governments and international organizations from relief workers, missionaries, journalists and AID officials who recently returned from Nigeria, fully confirm this awesome tragedy.� Why is the above statement important?
Consider the fact that there is an ongoing effort to rewrite this very shameful history of the abomination � Nigeria. There are individuals being sponsored by the British and Nigerian governments to cover this horrific incident, that not being possible then do the next best thing � minimize the damage by reducing the number of the innocent dead.
Again go back to the quote by Senator Kennedy:
�And some 2,000,000 dead by the end of the year�, that is end of 1968. Let us remember that the public GENOCAUST (genocide and holocaust) against Igbo/Biafra ended in 1970, while the now secret genocaust has continued unabated as planned. Using his conservative figure, of, �25,000 dead from starvation a day�, just the year 1969 would account for nearly 1,000,000 dead from starvation. By the end of the Biafra/Nigeria conflict in 1970, the total dead by starvation alone would sum up to more than 3 million innocent citizens.
This courageous Senator, Senator Kennedy, a lone voice in an uncaring world, continued with this prophetic statement:
�At stake are human lives � innocent lives � African lives � thousands, even millions of lives � whose destruction will burden the conscience of Nigeria-Biafra and all mankind for generations to come, unless something more is done to save them�
�Let statesmen act today � because it is right to do so � because it is unconscionable to remain silent � and because the hope of all mankind for a better world will be strengthened.�
TODAY, WE SURVIVORS OF THIS GENOCAUST (GENOCIDE AND HOLOCAUST) CONTINUE TO REMIND THE WORLD AND NIGERIANS THAT THIS GREAT INJUSTICE MUST BE ADDRESSED. No matter how long it takes, we will continue to push our case for justice. AS Nigeria continue to burn, we the survivors of this GENOCAUST will continue to remind Nigerians that until this abomination is addressed, there will be no peace in Nigeria. It has been written, so it shall be � ISEEEE!
And for those who tell us there was no GENOCAUST (genocide and holocaust), below is the seven point program of the final solution of the Igbo problem by the Nigerian government:
�It is pertinent to observe that the Atrocities Tribunal found as a fact that the Northern Nigeria authorities with their collaborators had devised a seven point program aimed at a complete extermination of the then Eastern Nigerians (now Biafrans) in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the federation. The program is outlined as follows: 1. (a) to kill off the Major-general and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, T. J. T. Aguiyi-Ironsi; (b) to kill off all Yamiri (Igbo) Army officers;
(c) and subsequently purge the Army of Yamiri by killing the rest in the ranks. 2. With the aid of the Westerners in the army, to take complete control of the Armed Forces, the Police and the Navy and to purge off the Yamiri in these forces too. 3. To kill off and dispossess all the Yamiri domiciled in the Northern region. 4. To use the control of the Armed Forces to take control of the country�s Government. 5. To revenge Sarduana�s and Abubakar�s death by killing Dr. Zik, Dr. Okpara, Ojukwu and Major Nzeogwu. 6. To destroy Port Harcourt, Enugu and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 7. To kill all (a) Yamiri in top civil service posts; (b) all wealthy Yamiri - male and female; (c) all Yamiri educational giants; (d) all grown up males and females of Yamiri; (e) to leave out only sucklings in yamiri land.
