Letters From Biafra

“ above all, our war of self-determination has the revolutionary dimension of the emergence of a New Society- a progressive black people’s republic that is destined to play a decisive role not only in Africa but in the world. Whatever the role may be whether in victory or defeat we cannot say, but to struggle as Africa is revolutionary, for we stand alone without political support from the outside except other Africans. For us, therefore to abandon the fight would mean to abandon the revolution of the masses. Biafra is more than a government or a place; it is an idea about freedom. To fight for it, perhaps live for it, if one is lucky is our consuming passion.
