Last Updated: Monday, November 1st, 2004 HOME | Previous Page MASSOB to seek foreign support in 2005 By Ben Duru Correspondent, Owerri Leader of the Movement for Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has said he would soon unfold his agenda for 2005, which would involve the international community. He said he had been consulting with the authorities in foreign nations and that having concluded that leg of his struggle for the realisation of a permanent home for the Igbo, he would now move to exploit the available potentials. He told journalists in Owerri that he would never be deterred by the “provocative raids and other humiliating strategies” employed by security operatives to checkmate him. “I was fully aware that the struggle was not going to be easy. I knew that my people would not be allowed to go without a struggle. So I prepared myself for the struggle and my people are also well prepared,” he said. He said like the Israelites did not leave Egypt without signs and wonders, so also would Biafra not be realised without signs and wonders, arguing that he has never given serious thought to the harassments from security operatives. Uwazuruike, whose Umunamu, Okwe village home was raided by men of the State Security Services (SSS), said all plans aimed at actualising his dream have been carefully laid out and that by the end of this year he would unfold his agenda for 2005. “What I am doing is well planned and documented. Most of my men are aware of the blueprint. That is why I have always said my death would not hold back the hand of the clock.” He added that his struggle is a legitimate one considering that Nigeria has taken the people of the South East for granted, adding that all the harassments that security operatives have meted out to him were indicative of that grand design to humiliate the Igbo. “Sometime ago the Nigerian government negotiated with some people who took up arms to pursue their agenda of saving their people and land from extinction. But when it comes to MASSOB and Uwazuruike, they use mobile policemen and SSS people. Can’t you see the double standard they are playing?” Uwazuruike noted. Copyright� 2004. All Rights Reserved.
